I have an amazing group of kids. There are 17 students from many different backgrounds. I have a variety of many different races, religions, socioeconomic communities, and cultures. They all come together to make up one of the best classes I have ever had!
My students are eager to learn and love to get their hands on new materials.
They have already come so far this year and I can't wait to see how much more they grow before 1st grade.
My Project
I went to a Fundations training at the beginning of this year and was blown away by the materials and ways I can use them in my classroom. Unfortunately, our school could only afford to supply us with some of the materials in the kit. I think my students would benefit greatly from having all of the items in the kit.
I have seen first hand how the Fundations program can positively impact even my lowest performing students.
The consistent language and step by step manual makes it easy for all learners to grow. I am hoping if I can start this program from day 1 next year, I can see even more growth from those students.
Some of the supplies I’m asking for from the kit are consonant and vowel sounds posters that are used regularly as part of the Fundations day to day resources. I’m also hopeful that I will get the dry erase boards, so my students can work on their handwriting using the specific guide the kit provides.
I also added 10 audio headphones to my wishlist. I am not always able to work one-on-one with students and there are a few computer programs that would help to increase my students phonological awareness as I work in small groups.
