My Students
When you walk in my classroom you will often find students working independently or in small groups around the room. This allows me to personalize the learning experience of each student. I use Daily 5 in my classroom and am working to improve the "Work on Writing" center.
My students come from a school that is in a suburb to a larger city.
I have a wide range of students in academic, cultural, and socio-economic status.
I like to give students choice in the classroom, while still ensuring that they are engaged in activities that will help them master the 2nd grade skills.
My students come to school with a desire to learn and I hope to continue to make activities more engaging to keep the fire burning for them!
My Project
In my classroom I use Daily 5 instruction for the main portion of our Language Arts time. One component to Daily 5 is "Work on Writing." As writing is something that most children struggle with, I want to make this center more exciting and provide the students with choices.
I am looking to set up activities that the students can choose between each day that they partake in "Work on Writing." A few of the centers I am looking to set up are: (1) Letter & List Writing - for this station I will give the students prompts to write lists. I am requesting a set of 12 monthly themed notepads that the students can use to write their lists on. (2) Research - I am requesting the "Organize & Write Research Papers" learning center to help guide the students in their exploration of research. (3) Poetry - I am requesting poetry magnets and magnetic boards for students to create their own poetry.
I am also requesting other materials that will allow me to create additional options.
Donations to my project will improve the choices in my classroom.
When you have more choices, you have more opportunities to engage various learners. Students will get to find an activity that sounds interesting to them and work to complete it, while continuing to meet state standards. These items will allow me to personalize learning for each student in my classroom. Thank you for taking the time to consider donating to my project!
