This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students come from a rural area in Marion, South Carolina. We have currently been displaced from our school and have temporarily located to another school in our district. This has been a lot on our students of such a young age. They are currently in Reading Recovery and Intervention. They love coming to school to learn, and they are full of excitement of learning how to read in First Grade. However, they have some disadvantages when it comes to reading.
They come into first grade below level and working one-on-one with them helps them to be successful.
I want to give them the opportunity to be successful by working one-on-one with them. They are eager to learn and need the basics to get started again.
My Project
Being as we have been displaced since Hurricane Florence came in September and we are at a temporary location, these basic supplies are much needed for teaching Reading Recovery and Intervention. We have not been able to enter out school to get supplies, books, etc.
The magnetic letters and writing boards help with kinesthetic learners.
Markers and pencils, chalkboard tape will help my students as they are learning to read and write to help them become average students in their classroom.
These materials will help us get back in the groove of things as we continue our school year at a temporary location.
