My Project

All our children are excited to come to school and learn in engaged ways to improve our literacy skills. I try and make my classroom an exciting place for scholars to come and want to read, write and think about opening a book, writing a story or playing a phonics game. It's been an amazing year so far but we could use some new materials help our students increase their potential .

Our students love to challenge themselves with vocabulary games, story share-outs and sometimes even a good old fashioned spelling bee!

We love to try and stump each other with a word and see if we can spell it or even collaborate together to get it right . We love to dive in and get our learning on and these new materials will allow us to do just that!
