"Sound Instruction!"
Funded Dec 4, 2019I’m humbled by the donations to my project. When I teach I look at every single student to see what struggles they are having in literacy and then I create hands on activities to help them become striving readers. Teaching is still my passion after 28 years. I'm truly grateful for support.”

Most kids do not need to be taught phonological awareness. They pick it up by being exposed to a rich language environment. But some kids do not automatically develop phonological awareness even with lots of exposure. They need to learn the skills through explicit, hands-on instruction and practice. The Phonological Awareness Instant Learning Centers you purchased for my students will allow me to provide hands-on activities which will help build a strong foundation in phonological awareness for my students. This will allow them to become successful readers.
Dry erase boards increase student engagement at any grade level. I work with students from kindergarten to fifth Grade. All of my students are more excited and on task when they are able to complete activities on dry erase boards. Dry erase boards also allow for quick assessments. I can walk around my classroom and see the students who are struggling and provide instant feedback and I am also able to see the skills that I may need to reteach. Your kind donation purchased different sized dry erase boards for my students. They will benefit all of the different sizes and ages in my classroom.”
