My Project

I love watching my students use the resources we have on hand and watching as they learn from them. It is my hope to add to the items we have already gotten to provide additional experiences.

Students will use the felt pieces to retell stories or create their own with pieces that fit the themes and different topics we will cover throughout the year.

They will use the dry erase markers to practice writing and foundational skills, all without killing trees. They will use the math and language arts manipulatives to create hands-on centers that will provide hours of learning that can be differentiated and address multiple standards.
