My Project

In my classroom, I am currently working toward shifting to a competency-based, personalized learning structure. This means that learners are working on content that they are ready for, rather than content that may be too challenging or too easy for them. With spelling, students take a pre-assessment each quarter to identify what word patterns they are ready to learn about. I then use that data to provide support and resources for them.

With learners being at all different places in their learning pathway, I need materials to be more accessible for them to gather independently.

I have been lucky enough to have found two small file cabinets at garage sales that I can use to house the paper materials that my learners need. However, they did not come with file folders or the wire racks to hang said folders. Please help me to get these for my learners along with a turn in bin for their completed work. Thank you!
