My Project

I teach my students to try their best and live by the motto "I Can Do Hard Things!" And learning to read is not an easy task! My students look forward to coming to school each day and their love of learning increases daily! In spite of their young age (only 5 or 6 years old,) and “little hands,” they work hard and try their best even when the task seems difficult. They maintain a positive attitude and try to always make others around them feel better. They inspire me and are the central reason I love to teach!

Receiving this donation would provide my students with experiences that will add to their academic learning in both reading and math.

Many of these items would allow small groups of students to work together and keep them motivated and on task while I provide direct reading instruction to a separate group. The Short Vowel; Beginning Sound; and Word Family Dominoes encourage learning through “play” and will extend my students' learning in both phonemic awareness and phonics. A lot of our day is spent practicing these initial reading skills and these materials will make acquiring them more hands-on and fun. The Unlock It Number Match and Counting Folders will help turn math tasks into fun and engaging learning games as well. All of these items will greatly help my students to grow and donations received for this project will be a valuable asset to our classroom! Not only will they provide a variety of learning opportunities for students that are hands-on and exciting, it will also help differentiate my instruction even more for the wide range of young learners in our classroom!
