My Project

As a first year teacher, a long-running list starts being created from day one of the school year. You realize as you begin teaching that there is an absence of some materials that would really enhance your instruction to make it more engaging and meaningful to your students. One exceptional concept is the idea of magnetic whiteboards and magnetic letter tiles to have small groups begin to build words! In addition, beginning alphabet sound activities like bean bags and manipulative sorts are so engaging for beginning kindergarteners when they enter their literacy journey. My goal is to have these items to strengthen the engagement of my learners in their development of beginning alphabet and decoding knowledge as they become first time readers!

Ms. Coleman will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 31.
