The materials that I have chosen will help my children learn. Some of my learners move around a lot. In first grade, it is often a challenge to get this age group to stay still for certain amounts of time. These exercise balls with a base will allow my kids that are hyperactive to focus better. The magnetic letters and letter beads are fun ways for them to practice sight words and spelling words. They will be able to attach them to the magnetic boards and the beads can be placed in sand for them to search and spell. This will give them a different learning experience for spelling! Sometimes when a schedule is placed in a classroom, it helps students know what to expect next. Routines are very important in a classroom setting so that the children can learn time management and self-responsibility. That is why I have selected the schedule pocket. I just want my kids to have fun learning because, in today's time, most children hate learning. Making it fun will broaden the minds of our future. Thank you!
