The supplies I'm seeking are crucial in daily activities and learning in the classroom. In order to increase accessibility to our educational programs, I'm requesting two iPads for my students. We utilize iReady and Accelerated Reader on a regular basis, but we often run into space issues due to the large desktops the few laptops we have need to stay plugged in constantly. This causes a lot of congestion near the technology, so having something handheld will make computer time will ease up on the crunch. Furthermore, having two more spots for our reading programs will allow for more students to access interventions that they otherwise wouldn't be able to get at home. The stools are for seating at the computer center, and the headphones requested will allow for students to hear without being disturbed by other classroom activities—it gets boisterous during discussions! As stated previously, this school is largely low income, and as we run out of supplies they often do not get replaced. We use a variety of supplies regularly in my room: pencils get sharpened down to nubs and erasers vanish to dust in no time from all of the writing we do! Having a backup of both along with a sharpener to keep things at their pointiest make for smooth sailing through our work. The remainder of the supplies will help with our Guidebook curriculum and interactive notebooks. We've been having to help each other by sharing what we have, but several students waiting to use a color or pair of scissors cuts into overall instructional time. Having a backup of these items, along with storage for them all, will allow my students to keep doing their best without worrying about running out of what they need.
