Early Success Videos

Bloomington Kindergarten teachers created a set of learning videos in order to meet the needs of our youngest learners. Each video highlights letters, sounds, numbers, or words that we want children to know by the end of their kindergarten experience.

View the clips on our Early Success YouTube playlist and repeat the chants together for a fun and interactive learning experience.
