My Project

As we approach the midway point in the year, it is time for students to do more independent work and “show what they know.”

One way that students can show what they know is with paper and ink.

Although this isn’t always the most popular method among students, this is often necessary. Students will be able to read more with individual decodable readers, and progress can be made in math skills such as addition and subtraction when given ample practice and “scratch” paper to become confident in their problem solving skills.

Paper and ink is needed to do both of the above things accurately and frequently enough to make a difference.
