My Project

I am requesting white boards with lines for our first grade learners to practice letter formation and new phonics skills. Many first graders are learning sizing and direction of their letters. These white boards and supporting tools will directly support our learning how to read and write. With each new phonics skill, our first graders can dive deeper into books and voice their imagination through their own writing.

Lined white boards are the perfect tool for students to correct their mistakes and grow their brains.

Our ultimate goal is to turn our first graders into reading and writing wizards; and as we all know, practice makes progress! Please help us continue to grow our brains, dive into books, and build our imagination through our writing!
