My Students

I teach Learning Support students at a Title I school in Pennsylvania. About 50% of students at our school are considered "economically disadvantaged." Our school does our best to help our students with backpacks, school supplies, winter coats, and much more. We also run a free and reduced lunch program. Although my students have a harder time academically, they put so much effort into their learning! My students are hard-working and proud of their growth and accomplishments at school. My students are working hard toward meeting their IEP goals.

My Project

I am a new learning support teacher navigating through instruction while keeping small groups and materials as separate as I can. These materials will help me to play games and create new instructional materials for students to learn sight words and practice phonic skills. I also included materials for students to use as reinforcement and for stress relief.

Being able to create my own materials is so important to help differentiate instruction!

With a new binding machine, I can create fluency folders, spelling notebooks, or sight word practice. With multiple copies of chapter books, I can try lit circles and show students that reading is fun. We can practice fluency with real literature.

Because I travel to different classrooms, I need to carry a lot of materials with me. I'm already on my second cart this school year because the weight broke the wheel on my first. But having a new cart ready to go, I'll be able to get materials to all classrooms when needed!
