Soaring in Small Group!

My Project

We are at the point in the year where my students are growing at a rapid rate! I am asking for these materials to help differentiate small group instruction and keep my littles engaged for the duration of time they are working with me.

These items will have my students begging me to have me work with their group next!

For example, I am asking for finger lights for my students which will encourage them to point to each word during reading while also making it fun! Also, the letter mats and foam letters will be a quick and easy way to play games such as having my students spell cvc words, find the missing letter, and what letter makes the sound. I am planning on using the owl night light as a classroom management tool--when it is on that means I am working with a group and you cannot interrupt during stations and when it is off you can come ask me any questions you may have.

With this being only my second year teaching, I am constantly finding more resources to help make small group run more smoothly and efficiently. These items will help me do just that!
