My Project

A main focus of mine is to get every one of my students to be at or above grade level in reading. I was recently trained in Orton Gillingham and want to implement some new reading strategies. In order to do so, each student will need crayons, a red folder, and the crochet mat. I will be using the laminating sheets to reuse the materials. The chair will be used for me during our small group reading sessions.

I am very passionate about creating a beautiful learning environment.

I am also requesting bulletin board paper to decorate bulletin boards. The tape will help me hang things up.
