My Project

I plan to use the materials to support differentiated learning, building foundational skills, and meeting academic goals. Our second-grade students can connect to every lesson using the provided material for hands-on activities.

Having students build strong foundational skills allows learning objectives to develop and become meaningful.

We believe that ELA provides skills that will strengthen cross-curriculum connections.

Each resource used to support our low-income, diverse classroom helps create a learning environment enriched with critical thinking, expressive lessons, and specific feedback. The goals for this project are connection, collaboration, differentiation, and high standards.
