Kindergarten Paper Kit- we listed ways to differentiate lessons from the kit, made vocabulary flashcards, a vocabulary touch and feel book, a student book with samples for them to write the words on and updated the book list to support the Foss kit.



This is an example of the book we made to illustrate/help teach vocal for this paper unit

Here are some more pages
