My Project

The items I am requesting will provide my first-grade students with fun, interactive ways to learn content across the board, including math, STEM, writing, and reading. My class of first graders are eager to learn and include many differing levels of students.

My main goal is to provide the best education possible to all of my students, while keeping them engaged.

Students learn best with hands-on and engaging materials. These items will be able to provide wonderful learning opportunities. They will utilize the numbered dry erase boards for math, STEM blocks for creativity, and handwriting paper, sentence building activity, and sentence strips for writing. In addition, the magnetic sight word cards will allow us to practice sight words on a daily basis.

I am looking forward to this new opportunity. I'm sure my students will be eager to learn, as I am always looking forward to learn new things. These items will help me be more successful in my first year of teaching first grade.
