Ms. Olivia's First Project

Funded Aug 29, 2024

I want to thank you so much for contributing to my first project. My students and I have already been able to make great use out of these new resources. The ability to incorporate more play and hands-on materials into learning time has led to a contagious amount of joy in our learning space, and I cannot thank you enough for that!

In kindergarten, we are learning letters, how to write our names, and learning words like I, the, and, and is. My students absolutely love using the mini whiteboards to practice writing their letters and their names. They are the perfect size for kindergarten learners. They also love using the magnetic letter tiles to form their names and some of their first words.

In second grade, students love the story sequence card games. We are working on oral language in small group settings, and having the confidence and language skills to speak in complete sentences and connect sentences together. Even our quietest students are more engaged in speaking, gaining more confidence to speak in English, and ask about when we can play the storytelling game again.

My planning has become immensely easier with proper resources to organize my teaching materials for each week and having hands-on activities for my students. In the coming weeks, I hope to use the play-dough and letter stampers for kindergarteners to practice some short words. We will also be using the word builder puzzles in second grade as we learn more heart words/sight words to improve our reading and writing. I am so grateful to have these resources to help provide the best educational experience possible for my students.”

With gratitude,

Ms. Olivia
