My Project

The items I am requesting will help my kinder crew become spellers, as they use their imagination to bring words to their drawings.

I have loved watching their imaginations develop, and I want to assist them with learning how to put their vivid thoughts into words and pictures

Hearing the smallest sounds that make up words is a crucial skill to acquire for a kindergartener. The ability to hear these small sounds will allow them to become spellers. The items requested, will help build this skill as little author and illustrators emerge. If we build a strong foundation in writing and spelling now, test results for our state will continue to rise, thus producing literate citizens.
