My Students
All students are diverse and energetic 5 and 6-year-olds in a southern Arizona Title I STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) school.
Ninety-nine percent of our students qualify to receive free lunch.
Most are English Language Learners, including refugees from Africa, Asia, Mexico, and the Middle East. All coming from low-income households. School is often the first place my students are exposed to literacy, math, and STEAM activities in English. They come from homes where education is often not a priority, making the initial readiness gap wider. They strive to do their best against the odds and are always excited to come to school and learn.
My Project
Now that we're back in the classroom, I would love to provide my students with tangible examples of each letter and vowel sound. These materials will be used whole group, small group and in intervention groups.
These individual letter and vowel tubs will give my students the ability to explore letter sounds, identify and sort, play games and build their vocabulary skills.
The magnetic letters will work magnificently in small groups while using our magnetic white boards to build sight words. These will also be key when building words from our phonics lessons.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
