My Project

I love my students enthusiasm about learning! They get really excited when they have manipulatives to work with. I enjoying seeing the sparkle of learning in their eyes.

My students will have so much fun spelling with the cookie letters and learning to sound out words to read.

These learning resources are the tools that will help my students with sounding out, blending, and reading words. The students will be able to take the letters and build words from looking at the colorful pictures provided. By working with these fun activities it will motivate my students. They will be learning and having fun.
