My Project

First grade is typically the grade students flourish when it comes to reading. It's so important to provide students with engaging activities. Engagement is a vital part of learning.

These light tablets and resources will provide students with some fun items in the classroom to make learning engaging, memorable, but ultimately fun!

These tablets will only aid in helping students become proficient readers. This activity will be independent, allowing them to work at their pace, all the while building stamina with sight words, phonics, and a great sense of phonemic awareness!

My classroom consists of a diverse group of individuals, so these resources will make a huge impact on my English Language Learners. It will provide them with visual, hands-on materials for them to use. All students deserve every opportunity to learn while having fun!
