The materials I have chosen will make my class a safe and clean area for my students to learn. They will to make their stories come to life. The air purifier will help maintain the air in our room clean during the pandemic. Our zip code has one of the largest number of COVID-19 cases in Miami. It will help my students feel more comfortable to be in school. The headphones will help them concentrate on their computer assignments that is part of our virtual curriculum. During this time of uncertainty, many of my first graders don't know what is going on around them but they will be sure of one thing that my classroom is a safe place to be and create. The dry erase boards and Expo markers will be used by them when they are learning from home. They will use the boards to write and illustrate their sentences and stories. They can then show what they have created during our Zoom classes. Once they return to school they will use the writing material (pencils, crayons. paper, etc.) to write and illustrate words, sentences, and stories they create. Thereby becoming authors and illustrators to their own books. The binding machine will be used to publish these stories. I have published my students stories in the past and all my former students take pride when they see their words published in a book. The students take their books home. They read their book to their family members. Many learn to love to read and write their own stories.
