My Project

My first grade students are working hard to learn their required standards for first grade. They continue to improve in reading, writing, and mathematics skills. This project will help continue their progress and engagement.

This project would provide my students with engaging materials that make reviewing and mastering of the grade level standards more engaging and developmentally appropriate.

The included resources will enhance student's mastery of reading, writing, and mathematics. Students will be able to complete tasks, use pointers, play games, and use developmentally appropriate materials that align to the standards of learning for Virginia.
