My Project
My students will benefit from the literacy tools during small and whole group instruction. They will be so excited to use the magnetic whiteboard as they learn to read and spell simple CVC words. The magnetic sound boxes with chips will be a great alternative to dry erase markers. As the school year continues, my students will use the moving sticks and spacemen to track their reading and sentence writing.
By contributing to my project, you’ll not only enhance student attention and focus but also boost their academic reading achievement.
I am excited to begin a new year and watch my students grow academically and socially. These tools will help me achieve my goals.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
