These supplies will continue to enhance the homelike classroom that I strive to create.The pillows will help my students get comfortable when they gather to read their books or during our weekly meetings to share what is working or issues about our class. The basket will help me keep the reading area nice and neat. My classroom is a place that my students really enjoy. They relax on their cozy area, they complete work there, and they read independently! Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have seen how fun activities can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more! I will use the printer to provide necessary worksheets or special projects for our class. The markers will make it easier for us to complete wonderful and colorful activities to display around our class. The notebooks, flashcards and earphones are additional needed supplies to help my students improve their academic needs during our centers and small group rotations during our math time. The most important thing is to provide a safe, caring and comfortable environment for students so they can be motivated to accomplish their dreams and be able to succeed in life. I love seeing my students play and enjoy their recess. They have expressed to me how they need some additional play equipment, therefore I decided to get them a couple of soccer balls so they can continue to enjoy their outdoor time.
