My Students

I have the pleasure of working with an outstanding group of third graders this year! These students come to school every day with a smile on their face, homework in hand and ready for more learning.

These students are kind, loving and always willing to help a classmate in need.

They all get along with each other, play, read, work on projects and anything else that is asked of them without any worries who they are working with.

My students have been working very hard this year and have really improved on their math and reading skills thus far.

My Project

The materials will help students learn and work on new reading and math skills through the use of fun games.

Games are such a great way to help students struggling with reading and/or math skills as well as challenging students to achieve their reading and/or math goals.

With math and reading interventions happening on a daily basis, math and reading games are a great way to keep students engaged as well as teaching them to work independently.

Students love playing games to learn. We are in need of games for both math and reading to share with the students.
