My Project

Centers are areas in the classroom that are formed to allow students to strengthen their knowledge in a subject. My classroom lacks many resources and materials in order for students to form centers.

Teaching in small groups allows you to differentiate instruction for your students.

Therefore each children whether they are on a different level is still getting the resources in order to progress. Small group centers will heighten learning because many of them are struggling. Children at this age benefit through play when learning, these items will benefit my students and strengthen their brains in order to get where they need to be. By donating these materials, I will now be able to accommodate all my students academic at the same time.
