My Project

I have a first grade classroom that is over half full of students who have English as a second language. I want to expose them to some of my favorite read aloud to give them plenty of opportunities to hear English language.

These read aloud will help them with social emotional learning and also to develop their language skills.

We are also including some prizes to refresh our prize box. These will help with our social emotional skills and to help us reach our behavior goals.

First graders need lots of love and lots of incentives!
