Choice, Creativity, & Collaboration with Common Core
My students need reading and math center activities such as letter stamps, collaborative reading games, reading software, dry erase boards, math manipulatives, etc.

My students are awesome.
They are in fourth grade in a rural Oklahoma school. They love to learn, have new experiences, participate in various activities, and socialize.
The students in my class come from all over the globe, and are very different in their learning styles and abilities. We have a fast growing number of military students, a high population of Native American students, and several are from right here in Oklahoma. We also have many high achieving students, a Title I program, and we practice inclusion for special needs students.
My Project
This year is a push year for transitioning to common core objectives in states across America. It is my goal to study strategies that meet common core teaching standards.
A common core classroom is one that has highly engaged students working in collaborative groups writing about real world experiences. To begin meeting these objectives, I have chosen to model many of my teaching strategies around the Daily 5 reading program.
The Daily 5 model requires high quality and engaging materials that students can use in "choice" centers and collaborative groups. I believe I can enhance learning and improve student achievement using the Daily 5 model.
Please help me stock my classroom with engaging reading and math materials.
The engaging materials will grasp students attention and keep them engaged while I am working with small groups. The students will enjoy choice, as well as, opportunities for creative learning experiences.
I need reading games, spelling manipulatives, and math manipulatives to enhance students reading and math skills. We are asking for stamps, plastic money, comprehension games, white boards, and much more.
