My Project

My students have a passion for learning. Though learning can sometimes be a challenge, they still persist with a positive attitude! My students love to play games and read books.

Though all of the students are below level in reading.

I know I can help them progress with the help of high quality materials. The literacy games, puzzles, and leveled books that I have chosen will help me create a fun and interactive literacy center. My plan is to meet with small groups for reading and the students who are not with me can interact in the literacy center.
