My Project

First graders are very busy with lots of energy! I am requesting games for learning and cooperative interaction to promote early reading and social skills within the classroom.

When "games" are involved, first graders tend to forget that they are actually learning to read, count, and build relationships!

My goal for my students is to make learning fun, yet powerful and intentional with each activity.

I hope to begin this school year with many hands-on activities to build a community for my students. We are requesting games. Each day I want them to walk in eager to learn independently and collaboratively with their classroom family!
