Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

The Power Pens and the Power Pen Reading Skills Quiz Cards will be used during our center time. My students will be able to work in groups and do the activities together. These quiz cards will really help my students improve their reading skills such as word families, blends & diagraphs, and long vowels. By having these activities, they will be able to work on the particular skill that they are having a hard time with. I believe that this will be a fun and engaging way for them to improve these skills.

In kindergarten, it is really important to me that learning is both educational and fun.

My students will really enjoy doing these power pen activities. The quiz cards will help them advance in their reading skills and learn to love reading at the same time. I know that my students will have a lot of fun doing these reading activities. Please help us with this project so that my students can reach their reading goals.
