My Students

My first grade students are young, eager to please, and love learning. We are going into full days for these littles after being in school for only three and a half hours due to the pandemic. Students will need to build stamina. My goal after dealing with the limited time students were in school is to make learning fun, and to teach creative ways for students to hold onto the information learned. Many students are coming in way below grade level and I am wanting to provide visual, fun, and creative ways to make learning concrete and attainable.

My Project

By donating to my first grade class you will be helping students learn through hands on activities and creative games. Due to the pandemic students have been isolated and had to learn remotely, now they are back in the classrooms and this is an opportunity for students to engage in the learning process through working with partners and manipulating letters, building words, and doing number line Math.

Math operations & Algebraic Thinking

CCSS 1.OA.A1, A2,

1.OAC.5

!.OA.B4

Students will be working with partners with the number lines, and dice to solve Math problems and work to solve problems

Students working with pattern blocks to access shapes and their attributes

CCSS ELA L1.1.1A, L1.2.D, L1.5.B

Working with letter tiles and word sorts to spell word with common spelling patterns, and make new words by changing the blend & digraphs, or vowels.

With guidance and support sort words into categories (Word Their Way Sorts)

Rewards and Incentives for community building and inspiration.
