Hounds on the Hunt for New Centers

Help me give my students new and fun reading centers for small group time.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Maurice's classroom raised $168

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am a 4th year teacher at a Title 1 school and I am racing to give my students fun reading centers before the year starts. I want to give them the tools they need to become fluent readers.

I want my students to have fun while learning to read.

New centers will motivate them to get better at reading and decoding. Students will have the option to do match and sort, phonics dominoes, and sentence building. The manipulatives will be used both during center rotation and small group time.
