I will use these tools for the experiments to help my students learn in a more exciting environment. I have asked for a microwave as part of my project to help with all sorts of experiments in my classroom. I feel as having one in my room will help deepen the understanding of several lessons. For example, heating water in order to show my class what a candy cane will do in warm water. My class is so interested in knowing the step-by-step process, and having a microwave in the room will help give a more detailed understanding while seeing the whole process. I have also asked for a new mouse for the desktop computer I have in my classroom for the students use. Being that they are in kindergarten, my students struggle to use the adult size mouse that has been supplied by the school. I have personally watched them try to grip the mouse and struggle, but with a child sized mouse I really think it will make it less of a struggle. Technology is a huge part of education now, and for many of my students it can be tricky because some have never seen or used some of these electronics before, therefore I feel it is my part to make them as easy to use as possible. The last thing I have asked for is a new power cord to help keep my laptop charged. My old cord is partly broken, and without a laptop I would not be able to supply my class with the proper materials.
