My Project

These items will provide students the materials needed to create visuals or hands on models that go with our lessons. For example, they might make a lion craft when we learn the letter "l" or cut 10 colored squares to practice some easy math facts.

The wooden storage container allows each student a safe and durable place to set their projects.

The boogie boards will help students create and allow the chance to use a reusable resource in which it will simulate the writing of pencil and paper. Anchor charts allow visuals that are stimulating to the students to view throughout the unit we are learning.
