My Project

My students are an amazing group of students! They are so eager to learn every day!

My students will use the gel boards for fun easy writing practice of numbers, letters, words, and sentences.

As my students have fun writing with the gel boards, they will learn by getting tons of hands-on writing practice. This simple but terrific toy can be used to practice writing in a fun way through play. Learning through play is the most effective way that young children learn.

This keeps them attentive to the instruction and they enjoy it much more than sitting quietly through a lesson. Learning the academic concepts that they need for a strong academic foundation through active learning activities, will give these 24 little students with one teacher, the boost they need, so they will go to college and graduate and have great careers!
