My Project

Our classroom is a fun place for our third graders to learn and grow. Unfortunately, the pandemic has really impacted student learning, as children struggled to work virtually and with social distancing guidelines.

I believe children need to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in order for them to reach their fullest potential.

Many of our third graders are struggling with decoding and encoding, which is crucial when trying to instill a love of reading. By providing our class with the necessary phonics materials, I know our students will be successful in third grade.
