My Project

As time progress, resources are becoming more increasingly sparse. Copy paper has now been added to school supply lists of which most of my students' families cannot afford. The students in my class are from low socioeconomic families with free lunch.

Having the opportunity to post their work, practice skills independently or use anchor charts builds my students' confidence.

They will publish writing, print pictures and more. They will have the opportunity to use posters to help them work independently. Lastly, use fun interactive games to practice skills to reach goals set by them.
