My Project

Now that I have the essential supplies for reading instruction, I'd like to refresh my classroom. The space is small, can only fit a small-group table and chairs.

I want our classroom to be organized and decorated so that students feel welcome and at ease when they walk through the door; that's where the garland, border, birthday poster, and caddy come into play.

I also wanted some extra special touches to keep the children engaged and rewarded for their hard work. Students will love having glow parties with the black light and glow sticks.

In addition, I am requesting a few items that will be helpful for students solidifying my students' early reading skills, especially multilingual learners who are acquiring the English language. The touch-and-read word cards will be an interactive way for student to practice reading and matching those sounds/words to picture representations. The tubs of objects will "bring to life" words with consonant blends--which are sometimes hard to hear and pronounce for multilingual learners. The markers, crayons, board cleaner will be used by students every day. The notecards be used to inform parents about student success,
