My Project

I love how excited and engaged my students are but could use your help in meeting their needs. Many of my students are making growth however, some need more tactile practice to review their skills. These activities will help them to make progress and meet benchmarks.

The alphabet skills and number games are to help build students' foundational skills and give them something to hold onto while they count.

The timer is to help keep students accountable and understand what is happening visually. The rekenrek and magnetic ten frames will help students process visually while we count orally.
