My Project

The goal for this project is for my students to engage in conversations with their peers during instruction and non-instruction. This will give students a chance to be confident in their knowledge and understanding.

The whiteboards will help incorporate small groups with what they need help with, writing skills.

They will be used during Phonics to write letters, sounds, and spelling.

The microphone will help students clearly hear directions, instructions, and lessons.

The board games will help with social interaction during indoor games. They will be able to use communication skills and work together.
