My Project

I plan to expand and enhance my scholars' ability to process words and also their ability to form words and construct sentences and paragraphs. With the use of these drawing boards/tablets, my scholars will be able to stimulate their creativity and keep busy, while practicing scribbling and the art of their handwriting skills.

Writing with these LCD tablets and wooden letter blocks (technology advances) provides numerous opportunities to develop my scholars' emergent literacy capacities including making meaning/expressing ideas in text, fine motor skills, concepts of print, phonological awareness, phonics and more.

Using the pencil grips will allow the scholars to learn how to hold the pencil, enhancing their writing skills.

These resources will provide a sense of entertainment. I plan to use the karaoke machine to create a positive learning culture, having fun Friday's, creating an open space for my scholar's to grow! Learning should be innovative and fun.
