These simple materials have already made a huge impact on our learning. My students love using their new writing boards during phonics and math lessons. They get so excited when it's time to \"show what they know\" by writing answers or practicing letters on their boards. During writing time, we've been using the large chart paper to create shared writing pieces together. It's made our lessons so much more interactive and fun!\r\n\r\nWe'll be using these supplies during our literacy centers and morning meetings. Students will work in small groups to write words, draw story ideas, and solve math problems together. The chart paper will continue to display our class learning and celebrate student work around the room. These materials may seem basic, but they've truly helped my students build confidence and joy in learning every day.

The curriculum provided us with many hands on projects that we used along with the district ELA curriculum. \r\n One of the projects the students had to complete was about Native American Inventions. Where would we be if the Native Americans had not been in America? The students had to research Native American Inventions and choose one to present to the class. Once students chose an invention, they had to research more information about the invention, what was it used for, what was it made from, and what gender role invented it. After gathering all information, they had to create an advertisement for the invention. They were able to make a poster, create a powerpoint/google slide presentation or a animated commercial. They had to make a replica of the invention using natural resources, nothing bought in the store, to display. \r\n We set up stations and the students displayed their projects and presentations and we had a fair in the hallway and other students came around to ask questions and see the displays.
