My Project

My classroom is filled with diverse learners, each with their unique strengths and abilities. To nurture their growth and provide an engaging learning environment, I am seeking your support for a variety of resources. A TPT gift card will enable me to access high-quality, curriculum-aligned materials that cater specifically to the needs of my students. This platform offers a vast array of resources, from lesson plans to creative art projects and more. The literacy materials provide an interactive approach to boost and enrich students' language abilities, fostering the development of their phonics skills. The hands-on math resources I chose will allow students to grasp abstract concepts in a tangible way. The manipulatives, games, and interactive tools will make learning mathematics not only effective but also enjoyable and promoting a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts we're learning in class.

I hope to enhance students' proficiency in math and literacy through targeted resources and games I know they'll love.

The standing desk will be for me to use and move freely around the classroom. This mobility facilitates better interaction with students, keeping them engaged and focused on the lesson, whether that's whole group or small group learning. We appreciate your thoughtful consideration of our project and to help make learning more fun!
