The headphones have been an absolute game changer in our classroom this year, and I have you to thank for that. \r\n\r\nWe have a supplies list that we send out before school starts, but in today's economic climate it can be a weight for many of our families. Adding things we desperately need, like headphones, can add to that weight. \r\n\r\nIn Kindergarten we do our best to keep screen time at a minimum, but technology is also imperative and kids love it. Right now my class uses their headphones almost daily. They use them to listen to books on CD, to explore educational apps on tablets, and to login to their computers and complete different tasks assigned to them by their tech teacher. \r\n\r\nThe bags are the perfect storage for kids to use them independently and efficiently. Truly— the time and money you have saved us cannot be put into words.

Kindergarten children need lots of time and practice creating and expressing themselves before attempting to respond to actual academic prompts and written work. Young children need to develop fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, strength and stamina because writing is a complicated skill. During our free choice period over half the class choose the special glitter, gel and scented pens to create. Many children made detailed plans earlier in the day such as 'meet me at the art table and we can finish our cartoon book!' They also helped and encouraged each other throughout.

The children are very engaged in the text, when they have their own book to read closely and enjoy the illustrations. \r\n\r\nThe titles of the texts that I purchased using your funding all have a similar themes. The theme of these texts is, Overcoming Learning Challenges. Some of the books talk about modern day challenges, children around the work have while accessing books. For example, one text is called, Waiting for the Bibliburro. In this text, a little girl in Columbia does not have a school or a library, BUT once a month the library man comes to her remote village with his two donkeys carrying new library books. The little girl loves to read and learn and the Biblioburros/donkeys who bring books allow her to learn and grow.
