My Project

In the classroom, I would like to make a difference in students' learning by having informative explanatory and opinion writing on the environment. They will use feature cards so kids can complete the writing experience on their own. This will help in the pre-writing process and gather ideas to group information into paragraphs. This process will develop skills in opinion and information writing skills.

We are ready to write in the environment with skill cards and master phonics.

Once we master building our language skills it helps students idenify word families, missing sounds, and ryhmes to build the writing experience.

The prompt ready to write and master phonics sets will build skills in word families, blends, long and short vowels. This will set them up for the prewriting and writing process in learning about the environment.
