My Project

Each day, my teammate and I see over sixty students in our classroom. These students are very special to us, and we work really hard to make sure that they have the resources they need to learn how to read.

Reading is essential in becoming successful in life.

I am requesting some sand refills for my sand trays to help students use hands on manipulative learning how to form letters. I am requesting letter tubs to help our ELL students and most struggling readers learn their letters, sounds, and beginning sounds. I am also requesting a letter lock and key game to help students with independent practice.
