My students deserve to have the right materials to help them to be successful in the classroom. The specific materials I am asking for include a variety of math games and learning materials, as well as a listening library. Games give students opportunities to explore fundamental number concepts, such as the counting sequence, one-to-one correspondence, and computation strategies. Engaging mathematical games can also encourage students to explore number combinations, place value, patterns, and other important mathematical concepts. Further, they afford opportunities for students to deepen their mathematical understanding and reasoning. Games are an important tool for learning in elementary classrooms. I will have the games in stations to provide a fun and engaging learning environment. Children take great pleasure in listening to stories! CDs that come with a copy of the book are particularly valuable because a child can follow along as the narrator reads. Hearing a book read on CD helps children see how the words on the page can come alive in a fluid, expressive way. It helps them focus on the sounds of words read without interruption and provides a model of fluent reading. Audio books also give children an important introduction to listening — a skill that she must master in order to learn to read.
