My Project

Centers allow first graders to apply strategies in a fun and engaging way!

Thank you in advance for helping provide resources and activities that are essential for my students to gain more independence while teachers engage in small groups.

Learning centers allow students to demonstrate how much they've learned, gain independence and responsibility, while also focusing on areas that can challenge them. These centers will accommodate the different learning styles in my classroom and boost students progress in math and ELA.

I believe these materials will engage students every week during small group and indoor recess days!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
