Goal

At the beginning of the year, only 11% of my students were able to accurately identify/recognize all of the letters and their corresponding sounds. My goal is to have 100% of my students to not only identify and recognize all of the letters and sounds, but to also be able to blend them together to read and write grade level words fluently. The goal is this project is to provide my students with a new classroom rug that will provide students with their own clearly defined and designated learning area during whole group instruction and also to get hands on learning materials in my students' hands for small group time that will promote engagement through active learning materials.  

 

Category

Class Furniture - Carpets, choral risers, transitional seating/desks, etc. 

 

What will be done with my students

Not only would a new classroom rug make the classroom a more inviting and welcoming environment, it would also give my student's a clearly defined and designated learning area that will help students know where to sit and focus during whole group learning time. Their dedicated space would help student engagement and positive interactions during instruction as I will be able to strategically place students in spots among their peers that are most conducive to learning and reduce distractions from their peers.

The literacy center activities will give my students meaningful opportunities to be actively engaged in practice with reading, writing, phonics, letter recognition and other early literacy skills. These activities allow students to learn through hands on play and exploration while meeting different learning needs as well as building independence, confidence, and stronger foundation for reading.
