These materials will add great organization to our classroom. Students have been used to completing assignments on the computer. They were able to have the computer keep track of what they completed and what they still had to work on. When students came back into the classroom they were struggling to keep themselves accountable and organized. Student planners for the rest of the school year will help my students work on the organizational skills they need to be successful while writing their daily assignments and having one place to hold important information. The other materials will also be crucial in sparking student thinking and interactive participation. I would love to have whiteboards and poster paper to hang all around the classroom. This resource would be great to have. My students can see their work being hung up and being used as a model for their peers. With the majority of student work being displayed around the classroom, students can become more confident, proud and inspire each other. Students will love being able to see how their thinking is just as important. The other materials requested would be such a great addition to have as I can prepare materials and lessons for students to be easily accessible. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and for making a difference.
