My Project

Welcoming students with a fruit friendly theme will provide my students with a curriculum of fun. My 27th year of teaching first grade will begin by studying types of fruit through books and crafts. We will be writing stories in journals and practicing word patterns and handwriting practice with new dry erase boards.

While I have chosen books and a few other products to make the fruit theme enjoyable, I have also selected items that will give help my students have a more successful school year.

Dry erase boards are used daily and student journals help children when they are organizing and developing writing skills. Stem activities and puzzles are great additions to any classroom.
