My Project

Our grade level is working on implementing the "walk to read" model in our classes, and the students I work with need new supplies! This model has students from various classes go to one teacher to work on certain skills. I work with a variety of levels and want to make sure I meet students where they are and help them grow!

Notebooks and teacher writing resource books will allow me to enrich student writing and differentiate their work based on their level.

The TPT gift card will allow me to purchase any additional resources. The crates will provide storage for the supplies students need.
