My Project

In first grade, we are working hard to become amazing readers and writers. Small group instruction is a big part of our instruction. This is when we can break into groups and work on specific areas that they may be struggling in.

Using the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card, we can purchase extra materials that can help us in areas of struggle.

This can be anywhere from letter recognition to comprehension. Using the reusable wipe away folders, students can work on these resources while minimizing paper waste. We also can use the pencil sharpener to sharpen our pencils in preparation for writing.

These students work so hard. They will be rockstars in reading and writing in no time!
