My Project

I absolutely love how curious, joyful, and determined my students are. Each one brings a unique perspective and personality to our classroom, and they all learn in different ways. Many of my students benefit from extra support, repetition, and hands-on experiences as they build foundational reading and math skills.

The materials I’m requesting, Lakeshore Touch & Read Write & Wipe Cards and Lakeshore Find & Write CVC Words Activity Center, will help my students engage with early literacy and numeracy in a way that makes sense for them.

These tools will make learning more accessible, meaningful, and fun, while also building confidence and independence.

With your support, I can provide my students with the resources they need to grow as readers, problem-solvers, and lifelong learners.
