    The students have enjoyed using the resources on a daily basis. White boards are used to share daily responses and answer comprehension questions. It engages all students in answering questions and think pair share activity. The magnetic board is a great vocabulary source, and the students use it ti make words, and syllables. All students use the materials on a daily basis in the classroom. The boards are easy to reach and store. Students do lots of hand on activities everyday using these materials.”

  • My Special Place

    Funded Mar 31, 2021

    The project was used to help students share and connect vocabulary, rhyming words, math cards and silent reading. Flash cards were used during carpet lessons using both Spanish and English.

    Students progressed in the areas of shared learning and station time. Students enjoyed the carpet because it had visual pictures in Spanish for bilingual instruction. Students used measuring tools on the carpet to measure different objects and manipulative.

    All students were able to use the carpet for learning and enjoy the comfort that it provided. The carpet improved the classroom environment and helped to Enhance learning. The school provides learning for a Title1 low socioeconomic neighborhood, and the community is basically a low income community.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Aquela

Students use learning materials during their center and rotation time. Items will be easy to reach for all 1st grade students, and items area labeled with their groups name. Organization is key to arranging any classroom for 1st grade students. Learning to access materials and where to return them is a procedure taught to all students. This helps the classroom flow with ease during a center or rotation time. Students are expected to organize and keep their materials stored in the appropriate areas. Students use wobble chairs to sit at their work stations and work on projects and to read and write. They also use centers to create and to share with the class their finished work.
