My Students

I have fourteen energetic, curious first graders. They love to learn through hands-on, active, and engaging experiences. My students come to school each morning ready to learn about new and interesting things! Even though they struggle my students persevere and rise to a challenge.

My students are struggling to fully grasp the concepts taught because of our lack of materials.

This is my first year teaching, and the materials I have are leftover materials from other teachers. I am in great need of supplies for ELA and math.

My Project

The center activities and manipulatives will help to provide my students with an engaging way to learn. My students will be able to practice through hands-on activities. These products will help my class to find fun and excitement in learning new things through different experiences.

Engaging lessons develop lifetime learners through new and exciting experiences.

My students will be able to use the clocks, for example, to display various times while learning how to actually read an analog clock. Each day my students rotate through ELA and math centers. The sight word wooden fishing game will give my students a fun, engaging way to practice to improve their reading fluency. The short vowel game will be used to help students learn the short vowel sounds in order to sound out words that are unfamiliar to them while reading. Durning the math centers, the addition and subtraction wooden fishing will be used to help students to be able to quickly recall addition and subtraction facts. We will use the sheet protectors during our small groups to learn the day's lesson to simply cut down on have so much paper. I will be teaching math in a small group setting in order to have more one on one time with my students.
