Gearing Up for Phonics

Help me give my students phonics kits, ink, one minute timers, and ink pens.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vasha's classroom raised $204

This project is fully funded

My Project

Second grade students are consistently learning and researching about students in other parts of the world. We have students in our classroom and school environment who have varying nationalities. They need to learn how to speak clearly to each other.

The phonics kits will help the students to learn how to enunciate and pronounce the words clearly.

One minute timers are needed to help the students build their reading fluency for effective comprehension, and the ink pens will help them keep track of their progress.

The ink will be used to print assignments so that students will get more supplemental work for literacy.
