In my multi-age classroom, small group instruction is essential to keep all students working at an appropriate level. My largest request will be a mobile easel for small group use. This can be used as a whiteboard or to store and display the requested anchor charts and writing utensils. I have also requested a magnetic grid to use on the whiteboard for graphing and geometry. Lecture and paper worksheets are not effective teaching methods for students with communication/language disorders. My students are fluent readers with little to no comprehension because background vocabulary, such as positional language, is missing. With the items on this list, children will build academic math vocabulary by seeing, manipulating and measuring monkey yarn, straws, connectors and Anglegs. They will see why multiplied fractions become smaller while multiplied whole numbers increase. They will practice using positional language as they build and create geometric shapes. In addition to language gaps, my students have also missed significant instruction time due to problem behaviors. As students fall behind academically, they often act out to avoid academic challenges or the embarrassment of working below grade level. These behaviors then lead to further missed instruction affecting the entire classroom. This disruption then leads to bigger learning gaps and more work avoidance. A vicious cycle is born. Covid has only worsened this cycle. I must now use every moment in the classroom to fill education gaps quickly and effectively. To this end, I have requested manipulatives to teach number sense, basic geometry, fractions, money skills, and academic vocabulary in relevant and engaging ways. Storage containers will hold our new materials and match my existing storage system.
