My Project

Supporting kindergartener ELA development to gain phonic skills to increase creating interactive learning opportunities. Creating multiple learning experiences for ELL students and low-income students. Student who struggles with phonic develop was to make connections to learning through their learning skills.

I included students' involvement by asking my students what tools they needed to connect to their learning.

Magnets to build words in small groups, games to increase speed, sentence strips to individualize learning and, anchor Students are excited to write, draw, and use learning tools to learn. My students are learning to write using drawing to represent their writing focusing on adding details.
