Ms. Sinks's classroom raised $657

Making Reading Accessible

Help me give my students more tools to read. Majority of my students are English Language Learners, and would greatly benefit from having physical manipulatives to help them read.

My Students

My students are kind, silly, and eager to learn. They love to love on each other! They come to school each day thriving to learn something new and exciting! I have both ESL babies and babies with sensory needs! They thrive with hands on learning tools and they love to build as well!

My Project

These tools will be used daily to help students with their reading skills. Most of my students came to me with no schooling experience. With that, a lot of them are still learning English. Having tools that they can manipulate and play with, with their hands will greatly help their ability to read. Each one of my students are so eager to learn and please. I know that having reading tools will make the ability to read more accessible to them. I can not wait to see how far they grow with these tools!
