My Project

The Lakeshore learning tubs will allow me to make reading intervention more tangible and fun. Students will be able to think, feel and voice sounds.

My goal is to make phonics learning fun for students who don’t always enjoy learning.

The objects will allow students to feel like they are playing, rather than learning.

My students are special because they have unique learning needs and many are below grade level on reading. My job is to quickly get them back on grade level and to make learning fun and enjoyable.

Ms. Kinzer
Grades PreK-2
