My Project

With this project I hope to provide my students with various materials to help fill the learning gaps post Hurricane Ian. Most of these students lost valuable instructional time during an important foundational year, Kindergarten.

Multisensory materials such as sand and mesh boards will help as we build our spelling, reading, and writing skills to become more fluent.

Markers, daubers, and word building materials will make learning fun and engaging. Mesh zipper pouches will help to keep certain materials organized and easy to access to maximize instructional time in the classroom.
