Words Out Loud

Help me give my students social emotional read aloud books, and a few classroom essentials. My students have big emotions and need guidance on how to handle them.

My Project

I teach a group of imaginitive, and busy transitional first graders! I love their inquisitive minds, and spark for exploring new things. My goal for the project, is to engage my students in daily social emotional read aloud books to help them process, identify, and resolve emotions that prevent them from focusing on learning.

The laminator and laminator sheets will allow me to make posters to put on our classroom walls that last.

I also plan to make individual learning mats. The clock is necessary, as I only have a digital one. My students learn time to the hour, and half hour, so an analog clock would be a big help. My classroom is in need of new chargers, and some arts and crafts supplies. The fidget word game will be a fun small literacy group activity.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
