My Project

The students that will benefit from these materials are wonderful, fun-loving scholars who deserve nothing but the best!

These materials will guide me in implementing a great program that involves a lot of hands on, sensory learning.

This is important so that students can take ownership and be involved in their learning. I will we working with students in a small group setting to help them in strengthening their reading skills. The sand trays and sand will help with letter formation and the flash cards will help with sight word recognition.
