Building the Foundation of Literacy in Young Scholars

Help me give my students learning mats and manipulatives that are engaging and support literacy skills for young scholars.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gayosso's classroom raised $367

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am a firm believer that as a TK teacher I am responsible for ensuring my scholars learn to not only read, but learn to love to read. Help me give students more resources to help support our phonics program. These hands-on materials will help enhance our learning centers and our guided reading time.

Our new materials will help support my students phonics development that will propel them to a lifelong love of reading.

I hope these new resources will improve students phonics and literacy skills. Students will have a strong foundation to continue there academic career with a strong literacy foundation.
