My Project

My students are kindergarteners who are learning English as their second language. They will be starting the school year by learning the letters of the alphabet, including the correct way to write them, and learning their corresponding sounds. Then we will move on to writing words and sentences. Students will use the special large pencils to promote the correct way to grip writing utensils. They will use the playdough to form the letters. These students need special journals with large writing lines for beginning writers. The crayons and markers will be used to draw and color pictures that illustrate their journal entries. Thank you for any help you can provide!
