My Students

Kindergarten is a child's first experience with formal education. Kindergarten is such an exciting group of mixed interests, abilities, and goals. Some of my students are learning to read, write, and count, while some of their classmates are learning to imitate sounds or hold a pencil. My students are full of questions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. A kindergarten day should consist of many different activities carried out in both small and large groups. This age group can work independently for short periods as well. Structure and socialization is very important in Kindergarten.

My Project

I am seeking donations for new reading and math resources. I am moving from 3rd Grade to Kindergarten and have to build a whole new classroom focusing on that grade level. I am hoping to get reading materials that focus on phonics, decoding skills, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, comprehension, concepts in print, letter- sound correlation and a whole lot more. To enhance math skills I am acquiring resources that focus on counting and cardinal order, describing and comparing attributes, identifying shapes, and more. I want my Kindergarteners to have all of the resources they need to grow academically.
