My Project

Hi Everyone!

I recently started working in a new class and new school, taking over a 1st-grade class for the rest of the school year.

This class has had different substitute teachers for most of the year and I want to enrich their learning for the rest of their 1st-grade journey. With only a few months left of school, I want to do all that I can to fulfill the void they have been missing and create more fun, positive, and enriched learning to improve their fluency and phonemic awareness.

These items will allow students to engage in more hands-on learning in the classroom. Literacy centers will invite students to work in small groups by working on their phonemic awareness with different items to help them read, write, and build words in different ways than pencil and paper.
