My Project

I am a beginning teacher at a Title 1 school. We are proud to serve a low-income community!

These workbooks are a great way to help implement and master our State Standards for second grade.

I plan to use these workbooks to help fill in instruction gaps during the school day. I have some students that finish their work faster than some of the other students. I plan to use these workbooks as a fast-finisher option for my students, as well as use some pages as grades in the grade book. Any time your students are not working on something, they are more likely to be getting in trouble! These workbooks will keep their minds and their hands busy!

Thank you in advance for donating to this project! My students love their phonics workbooks! I know that they will love and use these workbooks as well!
