My Project

My students love to learn and they work especially hard during reading class. I teach students at many different levels- both above and below grade level. Every day is an adventure while I watch my students grow.

Having such diversity in the classroom is an exciting challenge which requires intentional planning and differentiation of lessons.

The materials in this project will allow me to present material to each level of learner in ways that are engaging and hands on. The use of manipulatives, such as bingo chips and pop its will give my students a kinesthetic approach to word mapping while the books will provide me with short, quick assessments to keep track of progress and will allow me to keep pushing students forward.
