Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 18

Our students are loving any opportunity they get to play in our Morning Tub Marvels. They come in ready for the day, get started immediately and are engaged the entire time. They have enjoyed identifying sounds, making words, collaborating together to create sentences, and finding other words that have the same sounds. This opportunity is so foundational for my students as they are just getting comfortable with reading and writing.

We have used these materials not just as morning tubs, but also as a center and small group activity after reading groups. I have been able to differentiate these materials to meet my students' needs and from it have watched them blossom.

Their ability to manipulate letters to make new words, identify different sounds in words, and use these words in conversation and writing has been a joy to watch. Their confidence has soared, and we are constantly working to go to the next level.

Thank you for your contribution to my classroom and future classrooms. These materials can be used over and over again, so the impact can continue for many years. Community matters. Making a difference in this small way matters. We are grateful and appreciate your support.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

Morning Tubs offer a play-based opportunity for students to explore, create, and communicate. It is non-threatening way to start the day, help reduce the length of your morning routine, get students excited about the day, and encourage collaboration. Students will be able to practice their phonological and phonemic awareness skills.

What will be done with my students

Students will be able to produce words that rhyme, discriminate phonemes in words, segment words, discover syllables in words, and blend onset and rime to make a word. Students will be able to create sentences with their words, and in turn use story cubes to create journal entries.

Benefits to my students

The student impact is developing a better phonological background and phonemic awareness. Students will be able to create stories using their creativity and collaborate with their peers in a fun, and engaging way.
