My Project

My students are motivated learners. They came to America to fulfil their American dream through good education. My students speak Hindi, Pashto, Arabic and Spanish. The CVC word matching cards will help them learn letters and sounds which are very different from their native language.

The Writing folders will help students step by step through the writing process.

It will store everything from the initial story map to the final draft. It comes with topic ideas , editing checklist . By following these steps, they will produce a finished product.
