Mrs. Broussard’s Classroom Edit display name

https://www.donorschoose.org/classroom/1910045 Customize URL

Our school is a public Title One school with limited funding for individual classroom supplies. I teach three sections of ELA in English for students in our French Immersion Program. I have only ninety minutes with each class, this is their only English, since the rest of their day is in French. It is so important to encourage independent reading outside my class period, especially with our new Common Core Standards. This is the first year I have been allowed to have my own classroom due to teaching three classes, I always shared a rooms with the French teachers. The butler room was formerly used as a storage room, so I am having to furnish all the needed items for my room. I don't have a working printer/copier or even a pencil sharpener. My students need to be motivated, since many of them have poor work habits. Having the needed supplies in our own classroom is essential for effective time management, since I only have ninety minutes with each of my classes.
