My Project

Our students are bight kids that have very tough home lives. These resources are going to help me create a warm environment the they can be proud of and feel safe in.

My kids need to get their energy out and when it rains we are currently very limited in options, so I want to grow our choices for when we have indoor recess so they can be refreshed and continue to learn.

We would love Playstix, magnetic tiles, puzzles and snap together letter blocks.

Lastly, I want to grow our decodable readers in the room. This project will give students more books that are accessible to them which will help them feel confident and excited to read!
