My Project

Many of the resources such as the board and markers are helping students get the supplies they need. We are also getting clickers, anchor chart paper, and a TPT gift card to support my work with students

Some of our special items, like the games and dino discovery kits, are to celebrate our learning thus far and engage students in fun extensions of our work.

As we work in math small groups, we plan to play fun games with students about what we have learned. For our reading curriculum enrichment, I want students to experience the work of actual paleontologists and excavate their own fossils!

We also added several snacks for students so we all can eat our daily snack, even if students do not have a snack or families are unable to provide any.
