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

My students literacy levels need a lot of support this year. From learning letters to sight words, my classroom has children of all reading levels. We are struggling with our reading and these games and activities will surely help us grow!

My scholars love when they have small group time to play reading games and activities with their peers.

They will enjoy all of these incredible hands-on projects, especially the: magnetic letters, tracing word kits and spelling puzzles. The kids love getting on the floor and timing themselves to see who can read the words the fastest. This kind of collaboration increases their fluency and their love for reading at the same time.

These activities make a huge difference in my students learning. But, the best part is that they have fun while doing it.
