Fabulous First Grade Centers!

Help me give my students phonics skill building book sets and STEM building materials for centers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Patton's classroom raised $578

This project is fully funded

My Project

My goal for this project is to enhance our teacher directed reading groups with phonics-based books for emergent readers and letter-tiles for word building activities.

The STEM based building materials will create a new addition to rotations and cooperative group activities.

This will increase their interest in engineering to develop motor skills, explore unique solutions, collaborate with peers, and develop problem solving skills.

My fabulous 15 first graders are working hard to become independent readers and thinkers! My students would be surprised and so grateful to receive these materials for our classroom! Thank you!
