Learning - Multi Sensory Style!

Help me give my students the multi sensory resources needed to build confidence, retain instruction, and have fun learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Alvarez's classroom raised $158

This project is fully funded

My Project

The multi sensory resources will be used during small group reading/phonetic instruction to assist students in learning using various methods to reach each type of learner. Using the sand and sand trays will helps students learn phonetically and practice their letter formation. Using hands on materials also gives students the necessary kinestic movement to deepen their ability to learn and retain the instruction being taught.

Many of my students are below grade level with reading and math but their desire to learn makes them even more special to me.

They want to suceed and build their confidence and with having the appropriate resources available to them, makes their desire achievable.

All I want is to be the facilitator in the success of my students!
