My Project

Statistics show that students may not always grasp the concept during whole group lessons, but may need individualized instruction. Small group settings give more time for one on one instruction. I need more resources in my classroom to have meaningful and engaging centers.

Students who are interested are usually more engaged and learn more.

Having more than just plain file folder activities that we have used since the beginning of school, should surely spark their interest. I want meaning resources to place in my reading centers. I want to boost my students' interest while increasing their understanding. Please help us get new reading center activities.
