A positive, fun, learning and safe environment allows students to feel welcome in class and ready to learn. Students will be able to engage in the activities in many ways. My students love to be hands-on and use manipulatives to learn. The use of whiteboards and dry erase sleeves is a big thing in the class that we all love to use. Students work on various skills like letter identification, writing, and counting during centers through different fun activities. Whiteboards allow me to lead instruction and model to students how to write sight words, letters, vocabulary words, and so much more. Students can then look at the whiteboard to help do their work. In addition, my class can use construction paper to create various types of art projects. Having accessible materials for students to use while learning to engage will allow students to grasp the content better and increase their learning level. I will provide different learning strategies to my students to meet their learning needs. For students with an IEP I can give sensory beads to help with fine motor skills and to focus in class. An organized classroom setup with storage materials also allows easy access to materials. This includes bins for student workbooks and manipulatives. Also, file folders to store student work and assessments. This will help to create a flow and smooth transitions throughout the day.
