My Project

I am hoping to receive the following items to help my students grow in both reading and math. These tools will help students master phonic skills, as well as addition, subtraction, and place value.

I am a strategic instructor and I work with students not yet on grade level in a small group setting.

These tools will help them!

Students love to learn and grow through playing games and other fun activities! Please help support my first and second graders and help push them to the next level!

Thank you!
