My Project

Having colorful hands on resources helps us learn and retain our academic skills better. Within our 1st Grade classroom, we work in ELA (English Language Arts) learning centers. The centers consists of phonics, phonological awareness, comprehension, fluency, and other literacy elements. The students work in independent groups. Each center has an activity they are able to complete on their own.

The students love to utilize beautiful colored, hands on learning activities/games.

This encourages learning in our 6 and 7 year old 1st graders. They love learning and working in their learning centers daily. The resources you help provide will continue to bring more excitement for independent learning. Our students deserve top tier learning resources!
