My Project

Since Covid is still lingering giving the student the opportunity to work in smaller groups is a must. By having activities and games for the children to do with just a few other children will keep things engaging, educational and safe.

My students learn best when they are engaged in something they love to do; I like to provide them with a variety of activities to keep them learning and growing.

Giving my students more games and activities, such as the Sight-Words Hands-On Student Pack, the What's the Rhyme? Sorting House, Mastering Rhyming Words Dominoes, and It's A Snap Simple Addition Center, will support small group instruction in reading and math to help them build their literacy and numeracy skills. The bean bags will offer my students some flexible seating options, so they are engaged while they work because they are comfortable and ready to learn.

I have the best students and I love having fun things for them to do. Small groups are wonderful!
