After experiencing the flood hurricane Harvey brought a couple weeks ago, our school has been displaced and divided to two different campuses.
We miss our classroom, our things, our home. Where we are now has been a change for a lot of the students, including myself. I want to provide what little comfort I can that mimics what we used to have back "home."
My students are in a generation where technology is everywhere and everything - and I would love to add it to my classroom. Having a listening literacy station would help the students who can't read yet. It will help create a sense of community as they work together to read a book.
Having manipulatives like the connecting block letters and letter beads will help my ELL students who are still struggling identifying their letters and the sounds.
This is the first year I have students on the autism spectrum and having an organized classroom is a must. Allowing these students the freedom to pick out their books from labeled bins will help them focus; along with having the classroom schedule displayed for them to anticipate what is to come.
I want to provide my students a home away from home (our flooded school) and from home (their flooded homes). Although these are just items/things, for first graders, they provide diversion and consolation.
