My Project

We are just meeting our new group of kindergarten students and want to create fun activity bags filled with goodies that they can practice over the next few months to help them get ready for kindergarten! These letter flashcards will help them recognize letters and sounds for each letter. The number flashcards will help them practice number recognition and counting skills. The last item is the Get Ready for Kindergarten workbooks. They are fun little activity pages with simple things the kids can have fun doing to give them a boost!

The number and letter flashcards and engaging workbooks give the families just what they need to help their kiddos get ready for kindergarten!

Families are always eager to help but most are just not sure what they need to work on. Giving them goody bags filled with everything they need right at their fingertips will hopefully get them started off on the right foot. In the past families have always been very grateful for these items. I sure hope the trend continues!
