My Project

My first grade students need a variety of supplies. We could use two sets of Fundations sound cards. One set will be used to display cards and the other set will be used during our sound drills on the rug. These cards will teach my students vowel teams. We could also use laminating pouches for laminated individual charts. I could also use a box of Sharpie markers. I use these markers to create flashcards of high frequency words.

Your donation will help my students to become stronger readers and you will provide us with essential supplies.
