My Project

This project will provide my 1st graders with access to engaging math and reading games that make learning feel like play, while strengthening essential skills. With extra fidget mats and card packs, more students can join in small groups, making centers run smoothly and allowing me to differentiate instruction with ease.

Through this bundle, my students will practice sight words, letter sounds, syllable types, prefixes, suffixes, and phonics skills that build strong, confident readers.

At the same time, they’ll sharpen math fluency with addition, subtraction, and telling time. The hands-on, interactive format ensures that every child is actively involved and motivated to learn.

By combining fun with foundational skills, this project will not only boost academic growth but also nurture confidence and a love of learning that will carry my students forward well beyond 1st grade.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
