My Project

My students love to work in small group settings and be challenged with reading and writing. To make my learning more interesting I'm looking for engaging and interesting activities from TPT, to fulfill my students needs. A lot of available resources sold by private sellers are helpful additions to the materials given by schools. I would be happy to have the opportunity to buy extra materials and let students explore and have fun while learning. Laminating printed resources will show students a great way to learn how to reuse and will allow me to reuse student materials for future use. In addition, playing alphabet bingo with dot markers is very engaging for my students and a lot of fun, too!
