My Project

My students are so excited to learn this school year. We are working on getting things done nicely and in a timely manner. The sand timers and bubble timers will help students who need a visual timer to get their work done quicker.

The Play-Doh will give my students a chance to build and make letters as we are learning to write them.

Learning the letters in different ways (and fun ways) helps the kids remember them better.

The magnetic tape will be used to make visuals around the classroom. And the Unifix cubes will be used for blending and segmenting words. The jumbo size helps the whole class to see.
