My Project

My students love to come to school and are enthusiastic about learning something new every day. They are bright students who love to play, run, jump, write draw, and everything in between. In our classroom, we have centers that have both literacy and math components in them. The only thing missing is more laminating pouches, markers, and other supplies to create more literacy and math-based activities and games for the centers.

Students will benefit from creative and handmade literacy and math-based activities and games in the centers.

Students use dry-erase markers to write letters, numbers, shapes, and many more things. Laminated worksheets and games are great exit tickets, and individual, partner, and group work to extend the lesson. Having these activities and games in the classroom will help promote better learning.
