My Project

My students are a joy to teach, and I am excited to present fun and exciting lesson daily. The items I am requesting are items that can help my students be successful in their academic journey in first grade. Learning to segment and blend letters help students identify words, which allows them to be able to read words, phrases, and passages.

My students require extra assistance with segmenting and blending.

Therefore, the phonics games I am requesting will be used to help them learn to segment, blend and identify. The sentence writing activity will reinforce the correct way to write a sentence.

A bean bag chair would allow students to be comfortable as they explore the world through books. Crayons, markers, and pencils are essential items that students need to complete assignments in class.

Cleaning materials are always needed to keep our classroom clean and tidy as we try to keep down the spread of germs, especially during the Fall and Winter seasons.

My bubbly bunch of first graders and I appreciate each and every donation made to our classroom.
