My Project

Reading is an important life long skill. In first grade students are learning to become better readers. With CVC word builders and new books they will be able to practice strengthen their reading skills everyday.

Things like bouncy ball chairs and class organization pouches ensures that they will be able to achieve their goals in a fun and comfortable way while also protecting their materials.

I love that in first grade student's still have such an optimistic outlook on things and are excited about taking care of materials. I just want students to have all of the necessary materials they need to thrive!
