My Project

There are so many fun ways to help students build their spelling and vocabulary skills! The activities in this project will encourage the use of differentiated lessons in which my students can practice these skills. I believe it is important to plan lessons that are tailored to the variety of learning styles in my classroom.

While students will be able to work on spelling and vocabulary skills, these activities can encourage them to make social connections and build positive rapport with their peers.

I believe this goal is vital in today’s society where technology has replaced some valuable life skills. Thank you for considering this project where fun is always welcomed in my classroom!
