This is my first full in-person year of teaching. I am beginning to build my personal classroom supplies. I would like to have the ability to give them supplies to use at home and schools as well. I would like to have hands-on supplies that assist in their learning when doing small groups or independent learning. I plan to create a resource corner that will have multiple functions such as a library and calming center. Math and writing resources will be available there as well. In addition, the students will be able to use pencils, highlighters, post-it notes, etc that will help retain facts to promote better learning.
