My Project

My students come from a mix of backgrounds and places, they share a love for learning and being outdoors. COVID has cut their learning time and exposures short and many are struggling with the foundations in reading.

My students are artists and athletes, thinkers and creators.

They will use these tools to practice the decoding and reading skills they are learning. They will engage in fun, hands on learning and create new and exciting projects to help showcase all that they have learned. The decodable readers will give them practice applying new skills. The tablets an opportunity to showcase and practice their learning in novel ways.
