The love of letters, words and writing is so important to instill from the minute they start to recognize letters. The binding covers were used to create personal narrative books that every child was able to bring home to their families to be saved as a memento of everything they learned in kindergarten. The tape and paper rolls were placed in the writing area so that they can have a wide range of materials to choose from when they writing. The more we create an exciting place to write with choices the more children will chose to go their to write.
