My kindergarteners are only in their first year of school, but the effects of the last year and a half are still evident. Many are entering school without the readiness or social skills from preschool or available adults, and are deeply affected by the stressors of disrupted lives and overwhelmed families. The materials I've selected will help fill these gaps, while moving my scholars forward in meeting content standards.
Phonics, and early reading and writing skills are vital for future literacy success. The materials that will build these skill gaps while also engaging my young, inexperienced learners are the following: Snap and Build Phonics/Stack and Build Phonics/Match and Sort Phonics/CVC word work center, ending sounds Magnet, Sound-it-Out Blends Puzzle, Match Sort Phonics Quickies, Phonemic Awareness Folder Game Library, Phonemic Awareness and Building Words Instant Learning Centers, Word Building Puzzles, Syllables Count Instant Learning Center, and I can Build Simple Words (RF.K.2B/2D, RF.K.3A). The pandemic has also limited my scholars' social and emotional development, which I want to address through oral language and a focus on self and others. The book What I Like About Me, (SL.K.6), will aid my students in addressing their emotions and experiences in a healthy way. The Math Manipulatives and Counters materials (K.CC.A.2) will meet math standards as well as interpersonal skills through collaboration and problem solving.
