My Students

I am a first-grade and reading teacher in a wonderful school in Wisconsin. My students are very special, and I just love going to school every day to see the sparkle in their little 5- to 8-year-old eyes. I also get to connect with students of various ages during and after school. I truly have the most special job in the world and treasure every day with my students! My students love to read, pretend and imagine. They are curious and love to learn! We all participate in learning every day. They love so many fun activities throughout the year and our hope is to add even more. My students are amazing!

My Project

I have been trained to use using the Orton-Gillingham Method of Instruction with struggling readers, and this training has been fantastic! It truly works wonders with all of my students. And, it is definitely the best program that I have ever worked with when trying to help students who really struggle severely or who show dyslexic tendencies. I am requesting some fun manipulatives because this program is all about hands-on learning in a multi-sensory way.

Teaching students using multi-sensory strategies, in a very well-researched way, truly makes all of the difference for so many students, and it is a lot of fun!

I am requesting 6 sand writing trays for students to practice their letters and letter sounds! These are tools that we will use every single day. I am currently using paper plates, and that can get a little tough when we are carrying sand back and forth to desks for our activities. These sand trays will be the perfect size and height to make our learning a very successful experience. Thank you so much for supporting our project and our classroom. We really appreciate it!
