My Project

The materials requested will ensure my students deepen their understanding in both reading and math. With the onset of COVID, many students are behind and struggling. These materials will help me meet my students where they currently are and advance them to where they need to be. The phonics readers will expose my students to a plethora of leveled phonics passages that will help build foundational skills. The touch reading sets and twist and turns will help students physically build and manipulate words to assist with blending, segmenting and word relationships. The math materials, like the geometry centers and the ten frames and counters will help my students build their problem solving skills through exploration and hands on manipulation.

Hands on learning encourages engagement, team building, problem solving, critical thinking and exploration.

All of the materials requested will support and inspire hands on learning. Hands on learning helps engage multiple parts of the brain. It helps students retain what they have learned and improves their memory. It makes learning fun and engaging!
