My Project

Finding creative ways to motivate our students is important to us as educators. Implementing Flashlight Fridays will be a fun creative way to get our students to enjoy reading independently and getting them excited for reading.

Having dividers for them will encourage them to stay focused and allow them to work independently without distractions.

The students love using dry erase boards but sometimes can be messy, using these boards that they can just wipe off while practicing their phonics and spelling I think will bring excitement and a new love to learning.
