My Project

My students are very special to me! I am currently trying to bring my struggling students to reading at grade level. I meet with small groups daily to give them more instruction and focus on each child's reading needs. In order to make this time matter and be productive, I like to make it fun and meaningful. In order to do this, I would love to use magna tiles, doodle boards, magnetic wands, magnetic letters and pop-it bracelets to help students identify syllables, digraphs and to build words based on the sounds they hear while they are using hands-on manipulatives put movement and noise into their learning. This is similar to "clapping" out syllables heard in words. These provide kinesthetic learning opportunities which for some learners is the best way to making reading skills stick with them! I hope to provide students with great learning opportunities!
