My Project

I am a teacher on special assignment which means I work in classes all over the school, and in extended day. However, because I do not have a class rostered to me, I do not get any budget for basic supplies.

These materials will benefit the extended day program that I coordinate.

Students will make flashcards for site words and sounds, practice their writing with sharp pencils, and get a snack to reward them for the extra hour of learning they engaged in. The manila folders are to help keep student work organized so all their efforts can be organized into a place of their own.
