I am a first-grade and reading teacher in a wonderful school in Wisconsin. My students are very special, and I just love going to school every day to see the sparkle in their little 5- to 8-year-old eyes. I also get to connect with students of various ages during and after school. I truly have the most special job in the world and treasure every day with my students! My students love to read, pretend, and imagine. They are curious and love to learn! We participate in, and they love so many fun activities throughout the year, and our hope is to add even more. My students are amazing!
My Project
These items are needed so badly, and they are needed as soon as possible. We were just shut down due to Covid. I have been working so hard with my little students who need extra reading practice! I teach in a multi-sensory, hands-on way, and that is hard to create while teaching virtually, but I am determined to make it happen!
I am trying so hard to set up online work with these same students so that there is no lapse in their learning and we need your help badly!
I am requesting four Orton Gillingham in a Bag literacy kits for my students so that they can continue to learn in a hands on way at home. This kit includes the Orton sand for writing letters and words, red word booklets for red word practice, crayons that are specific to the program, dictation sheets, new concept papers, blending cards, and so many other important and necessary learning tools. My students and I really appreciate your help and support. This will have a very direct impact on student learning in literacy. Reading and writing is so very important, and we can not let it lapse for these children. Thank you so much.
