Smaller but Better

Help me give my students fun learning materials for differentiated reading and writing.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Votruba's classroom raised $275

This project is fully funded

My Project

All my students are eager to learn every day. However, one of the biggest challenges for teachers is that students are at many different levels. Throughout our daily learning activities, my students and I found that small group instruction is one of the effective ways to engage everyone and differentiate instructions to meet their needs. How can we make small group learning fun and engaging?

Your donations will help us find various fun materials and resources from Teachers Pay Teachers that will engage our learning in small group instructions and ultimately support them to achieve their learning goals 100%.

All the materials we are getting from TPT will focus on reading, writing, foundation, language, and vocabulary. Your donations will make a difference in their daily learning experience. We appreciate your generosity and care for the next generation.
