Readers Are Leaders

My students need materials to help make our guided reading time as effective as possible. These dry erase boards, markers, and correction tape will help make this individualized instruction even more beneficial!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

In this class there are 17 beautiful young boys full of potential and energy. We start our day by saying "In this class we are family, we speak kindly, we work harder and smarter, we know we are world changers". These boys are told from day one that they are chosen to be in this class because they are the best, and we must act like the best to show everyone else. My class is comprised of students from different cultures and different economic backgrounds. 100% of the students in my classroom receive free breakfast and lunch and many of them face difficult circumstances outside of the classroom. Life as a 6 year old is difficult enough in this world, but when outside factors begin to play a negative role, the classroom becomes even more important. Teaching life skills and love along with reading and writing is what the day is all about.

My Project

The materials that I have requested will help to make our guided reading groups run more effectively. Right now I read with each student in a small group to help develop their reading skills and strategies.

Having the necessary materials will make this reading time more beneficial.

With the white boards and dry erase markers my students will be able to practice sight words. We will also use the markers to write in sound boxes and analogy charts. The correction tape will be used in our guided writing and shared writing. We often times come together to write and share the pen. Sometimes it is necessary to edit our writing, and the correction tape allows us to do this!
