My students work hard throughout our day, but still struggle with the language; these struggles impacts their progress in reading, writing, and listening. Throughout our day, I share my thinking when it comes to our learning, in the hopes that they will begin to understand the thought process that is needed to check their understanding. The Developing Writing Skills Charts will be used throughout our week with the writing process. This chart set will be helpful for my students to see how I can organize my thoughts before writing, while giving them the opportunity to follow along, see it on the graphic organizer, and write it for themselves. The use of the Sound Phone will give my students the ability to hear themselves read without doing it in a loud tone. They struggle with reading and fluency, so by using this phone, it will give them the practice for speaking their words with less distractions to those around them.
The donations for this project will greatly improve the skills, motivation, and confidence of my students. I have also asked for a variety of folder games to develop the skills needed to boost their reading and language skills while building their confidence. In addition, I have asked for the first few sets of SnapWords. SnapWords will provide a visual and kinesthetic approach to learning sight words. SnapWords will give them the opportunity to capture the whole word as a picture, as well as assigning a specific body movement to help them remember and understand.
I firmly believe that the items I have chosen will be used weekly in my classroom and will spark some excitement for them. My hope is to provide an environment where my students gain a lifelong love of reading and learning, and in turn, can share their knowledge with their families.
