These materials will give my students opportunities for hands-on/minds-on learning. This is my third year teaching this age group, but my first year at a new school, and I want to be able to stock my classroom with resources that will make students excited to learn.
I believe that incorporating purposeful play into the Kindergarten classroom can inspire a life-long love of learning. Therefore, my mission is simple: Make learning fun! These resources will help me fulfill that goal.
1. The Jumbo Tweezers will be used for fine motor sorting activities.
2. I will add letters to the toy cars so students can practice letter identification by driving the correct letters into my alphabet parking lot mats.
3. The Rainbow Links will be used to build number lines and simple words (using accompanying cards).
4. The Sight-Word Pizza game will provide a fun (and more stimulating) alternative to rote memorization of words.
5. The magnetic letters will be used in many ways, but my favorite is to create a scavenger hunt by hiding them around the room. Students find the letters and put them in the correct order on the whiteboard while working as a team.
6. The ABC Learning Locks will allow students to self-correct as they explore letter identification and sounds.
7. The Versatiles answer cases will be paired with books I already own so that students can practice skills independently and self-check their answers.
