My students are inquisitive and love to learn new things. They are my fantastic first graders. Many of them are having their first face to face school experience this year after being virtual students for the past 18 months. Our school is located in an urban area. We are a Title I school as well.
My Project
As a first-year teacher, I have been blessed with an amazing group of first grade students. They have a strong desire to learn, but are having difficulty with key reading, writing, and math concepts. I want to enhance my students' academic abilities with new reading and writing tools along with new math manipulatives. I would like to keep my students actively engaged and improve their reading, writing, and math skills this year with hands-on materials.
My students need a personal set of flash cards and an abacus to help them learn to add and subtract two-digit numbers.
The dry erase pockets and sentences building puzzles will be used in small group sessions to enhance their reading and writing skills. These materials will be used in our classroom to help my students become successful in reading, writing and math this school year.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
