My Project

Students in my first grade classroom need some basic supplies as the school year progresses! We utilize all these materials throughout the year on a daily basis.

In addition, my first graders are still struggling with reading and writing sentences.

By utilizing multi-sensory strategies, such as the pop-it CVC game and tiles students can utilize these resources to help build their skills with both. By donating the magnetic word building boards, students will be able to help break down and decode words! In addition, the Magnetic Draw and Write board will help students in a small group see what the teacher is doing and be able to copy it at a regular size.

By donating to this project, you would be helping students individually, in whole groups, and small groups with improving their instruction. Students will be able to use these resources correctly in small groups and centers.
