My Project

With your help the students in my class will continue to build their reading skills with the CVC manipulatives. With the clothes pins, CVC magnets and magnetic pointer spinner I plan to make fun and creative games that will help the students read CVC words which will then help them become better readers. Our school does not have purple paint and we do lots of art projects. Our class loves the book Stellaluna and in fact have a whole week dedicated to bats - we just need the book! All these things will help my students strengthen their reading skills.
