Our school is located in a suburban neighborhood in Northern Virginia. Our elementary school consists of approximately 900 students. We have the largest military student population in our expansive county. We are proud to work with these dedicated military families and hope to provide the necessary materials to create meaningful learning experiences. Our families are involved and value authentic moments in school.
My classroom is comprised of 24 eager kindergarten students.
They love hands-on learning and enjoy exploration and play. I want to try to provide engaging resources to help students build critical thinking skills and continue to develop a love for learning. I look forward to introducing new materials to my young learners.
My Project
My students will use these storytelling kits to help develop comprehension skills in class. Students will retell familiar stories during center time. They will practice sequencing stories. Students will use fabric pieces to explore characters and setting in stories. They will have opportunities to better understand beginning, middle and endings in popular read alouds. Students will also develop vocabulary and oral language skills when they retell the story to a peer. This center will be engaging and entertaining for young learners. It will provide choice and leadership for students as they take on the role of "teacher" and retell their favorite books to a classmate!
