My Project

We grew so much as readers over this winter! It has been lots of fun learning to read, but we need to read out loud, which gets quite noisy! The whisper phones will help us to read in a whisper voice and maintain order in the classroom. The flashlights are a fun tool to make reading more exciting for those who struggle to enjoy reading. We will use these for rewards like reading in a dark fort! Or turning off the lights to read in a comfy seat on Fridays.

We will use the colorful dry-erase markers for encoding practice.

They will be helpful in writing, math, and indoor recess, too! The bags will help keep our reading books and tools organized.
