My Students

The students in my classroom are a diverse group of students who learn through research and exploration. They use every space within the room as a learning canvas.

My students are curious, eager, and dedicated learners who are ready to inquire and explore the world around them.

They will use literacy skills to learn about themselves and others while building connections. We use a reading and writing workshop model along with the IB PYP curriculum to continue to learn and express our understandings about the world around us.

My Project

This project will support the whole class as we transition to a new phonics program. This program will allow me to teach whole group and individually so each student will be able to learn and access phonics lessons at their current level.

By donating to this project, you will provide a key tool for each student to access our phonics curriculum successfully.

Each student will be given time to practice the new phonics skills and move forward at their own pace. This program also allows the teacher to spend more time with each student individually.
