My students are eager to learn. After learning something one day they always continue to talk about it the next day, which I love. My kids favorite subjects seem to be math and reading which is why I tried to get more things for those subjects. The pocket charts will be extremely helpful in English Language Arts. The book bins will be helpful in keeping each child books organized and visible. The easel will be used in teaching whole groups and will help with displaying anchor charts.
