My Project

My students are so excited to learn, and they love the Waseca materials that I already have in my classroom! My students struggle with creating complete simple and complex sentences. I think with the sentence building set my students would gain the confidence to continue writing on their own.

These language arts activities would support their learning level and would meet them where they are with phonological awareness.

With these lessons, students will be able to connect other writing material with their level. This will lead them to be more successful in their writing! For students who are excelling with this material, I will introduce the cursive writing boards which will bring my scholars up to the next level in their writing!
