My Project

Have you ever felt that you need to make sure your students have everything they need to be successful? Well, I do. My students are very important to me and I want to make sure that they always have exactly what they need.

My students require a lot of one on one support and small group support.

With that, my students also need to have independent work for them to do but work that is differentiated to their level. In order to do that, I need to have different colored paper to help differentiate their work. Some things that they do are sentence scrambles (where they have to unscramble and make a complete sentence), word sorts and so much more. With that, I need to make sure that they are differentiated and that the kids know exactly which activity is theirs. I also have included whiteboard markers for them to use in small group. But also different toys for the prize box in my room. Students earn prize box based on their positive behavior and if they reach their goal for the class tickets.

Having all of this colored paper, markers, and toys will help so much for my students and their success.

I appreciate your donations!
