Ready-Set-Blastoff for ABC's and 123's

Funded Aug 8, 2014

Mission accomplished!

It was amazing when the resources arrived. I waited to open the boxes until we could do it together. The excitement was enormous! It was as though Santa had arrived.

I try to have fall break as a goal for the students to achieve letter recognition of both upper and lowercase letters. With the help of using the games almost every day we had 90% of the students knowing their letters by fall break. To date 100% have accomplished the goal.

I continue to use the activities, but have raised the bar. We use the resources to name the sound of the letter and naming words that begin with the letters. The excitement continues. It has helped them to be excited about blending sounds into words. This will help the students benchmark on the district wide assessment that is used to show individual student progress. We have started to write simple sentences and reading simple text.

It is the "gift" that keeps on giving!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Bruce
