My Project

My students have come leaps and bounds this year with their reading data. My 18 pirates are in need of some new and challenging centers to reinforce lessons that are being taught. The new centers would be a great hands on experience. Each day students work in centers during our reading block. As a class they are needing more challenging centers. These centers will reinforce the standards being taught.

By implementing these centers in my classroom my students will grow confidence and knowledge to increase our reading scores even more.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
