My Students

Today's classrooms have certainly changed in the past year, we went from in-person school to remote to hybrid learning. I want my students to come back in the fall to the normal, where we are hands-on, learning in groups, with the laughing and learning.

My students love to learn hands-on, they are well-behaved and love to play games that promote learning.

They attend a school that has a very diverse population, many of these students are free and reduced lunch children. Most of my students come from single-parent homes, in which the parents work 2nd and 3rd shifts.

My Project

Students will be able to use these materials all day long in writing, reading, science, and social studies. Secret Stories allows students to understand the concept that some letter sounds have a secret to tell. Secret Stories allows the letters to explain their behavior when they get together. It also allows students to understand the secret their writing and reading will improve.

Secret Stories is always teaching.

Secret stories targets reading instruction to the earlier-developing social and emotional centers in the brain. Please help my students expand their learning of sounds.
