I do a lot of group work and projects with my students as well as stations. With that, my students are constantly creating things and teaching each other. Most of my students are kinesthetic learning so using items like the clay for molding out historical structures or having the whiteboards for review games will be very beneficial for them. I am very excited to use the Q Ball, it is a soft ball that can be thrown around to students and inside of it is a speaker. The student speaks into the ball and their voice is projected through the speaker. My whole goal as a teacher is to bring the students back in time to really experience history. The different posters and wall decor help set the theme. I also like to create a comfortable atmosphere in my room, so the starry night light would be an awesome bonus to creating a calming mood. The teachers pay teachers gift cards will be very beneficial for my class engagements activities. I have spent hundreds of my own dollars buying resources from students of history. I love using interactive notebooks and having the students do escape rooms. While I try to make a lot of my own activities and materials, sometimes TPT has better options already made. The doorbell is a fun tool I have seen other teacher use to get their students attention. When it is time to switch focus or change stations you would ring the doorbell. The sweeper is more for me to help keep my floors clean. But it also helps teach the students responsibility. At the end of the class and can have someone go around and sweep up any messes left over from doing projects.
