My Project

I am requesting golf pencils and pencil grips to help my students learn how to hold the pencils correctly. I have several new students that are having trouble holding the pencils correctly. I have noticed that this has been a continuing struggle since Covid.

Reading and Writing are some of the most important skills my first graders need to learn.

We will be using the labels to make sight words. I will use the laminating pouches to laminate some of the worksheets that we reuse on a daily basis. Students will use dry erase markers to complete them. These worksheets are for daily writing and math practice.
