My Project

My 3K students are eager, curious learners who are just beginning their literacy journey. To help them thrive, I’m requesting materials like an Alphabet Mystery Box, storytelling puppets, and alphabet plush toys. These hands-on tools will make learning to read fun, interactive, and meaningful! The Alphabet Mystery Box will help students master letter recognition and sounds in a playful, exciting way. The storytelling puppets will spark their imaginations, improve their storytelling skills, and boost their vocabulary. These materials will engage all types of learners, including those who learn best through touch and imaginative play.

My goal for this project is to create a classroom where literacy comes to life.

I want to inspire a love for reading and build strong foundational skills that will support my students’ future success.
