My students need language enrichment skill building materials such as leveled readers, sight word puzzles, magnetic letters, and a teaching cart, to further develop their phonemic awareness and comprehension skills.
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. My students are all eligible for free breakfast and lunch. Despite their challenges outside of school, they come into my classroom as prepared as possible and eager to see what new and exciting experiences they will gain each day.
My students are energetic and enthusiastic about learning about the world around them.
I not only spend my day teaching this wonderful group of students, but I take every opportunity to learn from them as well.
My Project
Coming from a school that is the smallest school in the district, with the smallest budget, my students would benefit tremendously from tools that would build literacy skills to be college and career ready. Having hands on learning tools will support differentiated instruction for the various skill levels that I must accommodate in my classroom.
I want to be sure that my students build a strong foundation in literacy skills for them to further build on in their educational adventures.
Literacy building materials would highly support our Daily Five Literacy Program. Leveled Readers, Sight Word materials and magnetic letters would greatly enhance building reading fluency, accuracy and intonation.
The storage and display teaching cart will greatly support visual learners in my classroom. The timer would develop organizational skills.
