My first-grade students are full of energy and curiosity. They truly enjoy learning and eagerly participate in our activities throughout each day.
It always amazes me how one piece of learning can lead students to make connections to previous knowledge.
Watching that lightbulb go off for a student is one of my favorite parts of being a teacher. Many of my students also enjoy sharing their learning with others, whether it be sharing a favorite book with the class or using the Author's Chair to read their writing.
My Project
Learning to read is a huge undertaking! My goal is to provide students with educational lessons that are not only backed by the science of reading, but are also hands-on, engaging, and fun! The materials in this project will allow me to do just that.
Little learners love to be active!
The bubble pop toys are a great way to encourage students to practice a variety of reading concepts such as identifying how many sounds they hear in a word and identifying those sounds when it comes to working on writing! The pop tubes are another means of hands-on learning as students work to stretch out the words they are working with to identify the sounds. Who doesn’t love to play games? The reading games I have requested as a part of this project will provide my students with learning experiences that are fun and engaging.
