My Students
This school year, I will be working with a wonderful group of primary students. They are a very energetic group of students that enjoy playing games and superheroes. All of my students really enjoy hands-on learning and making everything meaningful through tactile instruction.
My Project
With everything that has gone on this school year, my students continue to struggle to learn how to read and write. This project will help provide students with the multi-sensory instruction that they need in order to learn to read. Students will get to experience their learning through a hands-on approach that will let them interact with the content in order to build their confidence in reading, writing, and math. Students will be provided with new text to help them read books at their level as a way to enhance their reading instruction. These materials will help students grow as learners and help them build a lifelong love for learning.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
