My Project

The resources and the kidney table would be an amazing addition to our classroom. Our classroom is a small group setting. In our classroom, we want to increase our students learning of basic reading skills. The kidney table would allow us to pull an additional group to work on grade level and individual reading skills.

The reading resources listed would help build confidence in our students ability to read and write.

Also, the reading materials will allow our students the opportunity to practice basic skills in order to close learning gaps.
