My Project

In Kindergarten, our young learners are acquiring the basic skills of literacy, focusing on reading and writing. They require explicit instruction in phonics as they embark on their journey toward becoming proficient readers. The Secret Stories Phonics resources have demonstrated their effectiveness in supporting students in this endeavor, aligning with the Science of Reading principles and serving as a valuable asset for our students!

This initiative aims to bolster our students' foundation in phonics and reading.

The TPT gift cards will offer supplementary materials that enhance learning experiences within science, social studies, and language arts, complementing our existing curriculum. The selected resources on TPT will align with Montana State Standards for Kindergarten, enriching their educational journey and equipping them with additional tools for academic achievement.

Situated in a welcoming, close-knit community, our school, a Title I elementary school, stands to greatly benefit from these resources for our students this year and in the years ahead!
