My Project

My learners are such hard little workers. They are always engaged and invested when we do literacy centers. The hands-on learning is so much fun and such a great way to practice our phonics skills, our high frequency words, our spelling words, and our grammar. Learners likely remember skills more when they can manipulate sounds and letters around. The more they practice, the better they will become.

"Reading is a passport to countless adventures." - Mary Pope Osborne

We love doing centers, and we need some additional resources for some of them. These supplies would help us have different options for our learners to use and would help create some fun and exciting activities. These resources would be used daily during our ELA block. We would love to add these to our classroom centers.
