My Project

The activity card, nonfiction reading comprehension practice cards, phonics and language skill folder game library, and more will help with small group to enhance the learning experience for my middle school students. These materials—including flexible seating, manipulatives, and targeted instructional tools—are designed to support differentiated instruction and encourage student engagement in small group settings. They will allow me to better meet the diverse academic needs of my students by fostering a more interactive, personalized learning environment.

What I love most about my students is their curiosity, resilience, and willingness to grow.

They come to class ready to learn, support one another, and rise to every challenge. These new resources will empower them to continue thriving, both academically and personally.
