My Project

My students love engaging with literacy, and I try to provide them with the best opportunity to not only learn literacy skills, but practice them independently and with partners on a daily basis. They love the use of magnets, letter tiles, letter blocks, colored pencils, crayons, marker, Expo markers and mini-whiteboards, and Play-Doh when learning and also expressing their understanding of various literacy components. Despite their love for these activities, I currently lack all the organizational tools that would lead to a more efficient classroom in which students can access these materials in a more organized manner.

I am on a mission to provide my students with every opportunity to be engaged when participating in literacy instruction, and these organizational items would help me accomplish my mission!
