My Project

Our district recently adopted a new reading curriculum. The new curriculum focuses mainly on teaching content and the systematic teaching of phonics and morphology. We are also changing to departmentalization, so I will only be teaching reading/language arts.

As we continue to make this transition, I will need to update my resources to ensure that the activities I provide for the students are content-based and align to the new curriculum.

A TPT gift card will allow me to do just that. Teachers Pay Teachers has an extensive library of resources. I can purchase updated resources that can be used to supplement and enrich what is taught in the curriculum.
