My Project

My students are bright, eager learners who thrive when given the right tools to explore and grow. They love hands-on activities that make learning fun and engaging. To support their literacy development, I am requesting hands-on manipulatives that will help them strengthen their reading and writing skills in an interactive way. These tools will make phonics, word-building, and comprehension exercises more engaging, helping my students build confidence in their literacy journey.

In addition, I am requesting bean bag chairs to create a cozy reading nook where students can immerse themselves in books comfortably.

A welcoming and relaxed environment encourages a love of reading and fosters focus. Whiteboards and markers will also be essential for interactive lessons, allowing students to practice writing, spelling, and brainstorming in an engaging and dynamic way.

My goal with this project is to provide my students with the tools they need to develop essential literacy skills while making learning enjoyable and accessible. They are hardworking, creative, and full of potential, and with your support, I can help them build a strong foundation in reading and writing. Thank you for considering our classroom!
