Some of the items, such as the organizers, will help me add organization (and color) to a fairly barren classroom. Objects like the slot organizer will help the classroom work stay organized for efficient teaching. Objects like the pocket chart will assist directly in the instruction of students, allowing it to be manipulative and engaging.
Covid has deeply disrupted the normal flow of school life for these kids. Many of the students these past couple of years are having issues with many of the basics, and as a teacher specializing in helping to fill in those gaps, I feel many of these objects like basic math facts/reading flashcards and writing whiteboards allow me to do just that. Some, like the dice, have proved invaluable in having the students create their own math problems in an engaging way, and a classroom set will allow for expanded exploration with the manipulative.
There are also basic school supplies like markers and erasers that we simply cannot do without in a classroom environment. These paired with the whiteboards will allow for more engaging lessons than passing out a scratch paper every time.
