My Project

My students attend a small, rural, Title I elementary school. Most of the students who come to my reading intervention class come from low-income homes. The goal of this project is to connect the learning from our intervention classroom to their homes. The materials I am requesting would allow my students to practice the skills they are working on in our reading intervention groups while having fun learning at home with their families. My students would use the mesh zipper bags to transport their materials. The dry erase pockets along with the cardstock would be used to practice the phonics skills my students are working on in reading intervention groups.

Please help me get these learning items for the students in my class to have fun learning at home with their families!
