To bolster our intervention program to ensure the success of each student that we work with, we are asking for a variety of supplies that will allow us to continue to develop meaningful and engaging instruction. At the core of our instruction is English Language Arts that focuses specifically on supporting struggling and ELL students. For this reason, we strive to cultivate a literacy-rich environment where students are encouraged to engage in reading materials and develop as independent readers. To support this goal, we are asking for Scholastic Nonfiction Readers to enhance our library and engage students in our guided reading program. In addition, we are asking for an area rug and comfortable student seating that will encourage their development as readers and foster their love for reading. To support our strategic instruction, we are asking for 2 magnetic easel whiteboards to use in our lessons to visually display key content such as new vocabulary terms, phonics instruction, and thinking maps which will be critical in supporting our students. Also in support of our instruction, we are asking for student whiteboards to provide each student with tools that will allow them to participate in meaningful ways with the content and help them develop autonomy and ownership of their learning. Lastly, we are asking for different teacher supplies that will allow us to continue to cultivate a strategic and supportive learning environment for our students. We are in need of teacher chairs that allow us mobility while delivering instruction and moving to work with different students in our groups.
