My Students

I teach in a 10-6 inclusion Prek3/4 classroom. My students are very energetic and enthusiastic about learning. Some of my scholars are currently learning to identify letters, letter sounds, write and count while some of my students are learning to verbally express their wants and needs as well as working on independently taking care of their self care needs. As a whole we are working on our social and emotional needs. My class takes pride in their class community and being great friends.

My Project

This project will help my students become great readers and writers while having fun! It will spark their interest in having different ways to learn the alphabet. The items on my list will also give me ways to keep my scholars engaged in learning. The items on my list will be kept at school and give me the opportunity to send other resources home for parents to continue the academic process with their scholars while at home. I will be using the tablet to display different videos on how to properly format the letters in the alphabet. I will use my alphabet games in small groups.
