My Project

I have a classroom full of energetic, enthusiastic first graders! My classroom comes from a variety of ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds. Nearly one-fourth of my students are ESL students (English as a Second Language). In my first grade classroom I provide my students with essential foundational skills in all academic areas that all grades thereafter will build upon. Learning with hands-on manipulatives, centers, and games makes my educational goals attainable and learning fun. If you were to observe my classroom, you would find students working at many different levels. I differentiate reading, phonics, and spelling lessons to meet my students' needs. All of my students work on a level that is tailored to his or her needs. In essence, I have students acquiring skills below their grade level to close achievement gaps, and students working as many as two grades above current grade placement to continue academic growth. Additionally, I provide a minimum of 120 minutes per week of individualized tutoring before school starts to all students who are not performing at their current grade level.

The manipulatives I am asking for will make learning hands-on, applicable, and most of all fun and exciting for my students.

My students would greatly benefit from additional resources to use in acquiring and reinforcing skills in math, phonics, language, and literacy. All of the items I am requesting would give my students the opportunity to explore learning in a tactile, meaningful, and enjoyable manner. These materials will allow my students to gain a deeper understanding of reading, phonics, literacy, and math concepts taught in class.

Each of the centers I have selected gives students the opportunity to use a hands-on approach to acquiring necessary academic skills. These centers can be used individually or in small groups giving students the ability to work with
