My Project

I plan on using these calming manipulatives during our morning meeting to set the tone of our day! Having students identify and share what they are feeling is key to helping them learn and grow!

I hope to use the sight word building and sentence building game as an fun reading center to help students increase their reading and writing skills.

This will help students take ownership of their learning and increase their knowledge! My students love to take charge of their learning and with these games they can do just that!

Mrs. Dutcher will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 10.
