My Project

My first grade friends are eager to become successful readers and writers! They have continuously shown growth this year, proving that hard work pays off. Students will carry these literacy skills they've mastered wherever they go, and no one can take that away from them! Sand trays, textured screens, and tactile letters will help provide an equitable learning environment, where all students can reach their reading and writing goals.

These multi-sensory materials will encourage students to explore and make connections to everyday literacy.

Let the ah-ha moments begin! Happy reading!
