Having Fun Learning to Read!

Help me give my students Super Words - CVC Word Builders, Phonics Games, Rhyming Words Game for Kids and puzzles!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kosko's classroom raised $159

This project is fully funded

My Project

My kindergarten and first grade students are hard working children that love to learn new things. They learn best when using manipulatives that are engaging. The materials I am requesting will help my students to maintain their eagerness to learn basic reading skills.

Our classroom will be even better with these hands on learning materials and games.

Students that are engaged in the activities will be more likely to reach their individual goals. The prizes I am requesting will act as an added incentive for extra effort and will maintain my students motivation.
