My Project

My students are amazing. They are such hard workers and love trying new strategies and techniques. A lot of them are struggling with phonics currently, as they were remote/out of school for their early years of school due to the Coronavirus. My classroom is very diverse and includes a mixture of learning abilities, with each student being unique.

Each of my student learn in different ways and the requested fidgets, sand, and other materials will help me cater to EVERY child.

My awesome students seem to grasp concepts much easier with tangible items and learning with play.
