My Project

Because of COVID-19, students have fallen behind in reading and have a poor foundation in basic reading skills and problem solving skills. The reading center cards will help students identify each sound the letter makes and put those sounds together to make a word. These cards will give students practice in turning individual sounds into words, giving them a good foundation in reading.

The building blocks and mazes will help students figure out how to solve problems on their own.

The marble maze has multiple right and wrong ways to get the marble to go from top to bottom. Students are going to have to work together and problem solve different ways to get the marble to fall through the maze. This will, in turn, build problem solving skills and teach how to work together with other students. It will also foster creative and imaginative ways to accomplish different creations. These skills are essential in helping students become critical thinkers.
