My Project

First grade is all about building those foundational skills. Students spend lots of time practicing decoding words and learning phonics patterns. My students love to play games, these games will support early math skills such as counting, addition, and subtraction. Anything I can find to help my students achieve these goals in a way that will make them excited to participate is helpful.

My students are hard workers who are motivated by activities that are more than just worksheet-based.

The more hands-on their practice, the more I can get them to participate! They will use these materials (dry-erase board, ten-frame, dry-erase activities, conversation starters, magnetic letters, and math games) in math and literacy centers while I work with small groups of students.
