My Project

My students are some of the most amazing scholars at my school. They are all different in their ways, but we all mesh together to make a beautiful combination.

We take pride in our learning and we take pride in learning from one another.

Our whole group learning and center time is a huge think tank. My students have learned to collaborate, respect the differing opinions of others, and add valuable and critical feedback into conversations.

The materials that are being requested will help us finish out the school year stronger than ever. They are ready to take on the next year as they move into second grade.

We will use the materials to refresh some of our center activities like new paper for our literacy games. We will use the spinners for some self-created activities in math and literacy. We will use the decodable books to help those who need additional help with reading. We will use the play dough to foster creativity as there are many aspiring artists in my classroom.

We are also running low on basic supplies like pencils and need more to ensure we are completing all written tasks.
