My Project

As I engage each learner, I want them to embrace their way of learning that is specific to them with confidence! The materials requested here will help students bridge learning gaps, and retain previously taught skills through this school year. These resources will make learning enjoyable and build students' ownership in their learning. It will also support the different learning modalities offered to students during the school year! The reading comprehension kit and the regrouping kit will be used in classroom centers for students to practice skills. My goal in this project is to provide students with resources to help them excel and succeed this school year in hopes they can reflect and be proud of their progress! They are Rock Stars!
