I am a first-year teacher and I love my class. They are extremely good listeners and all try and do the right thing. My class is smart. I have a very gifted group of kids with a couple students that need some extra attention and help. Each one of my students is very different. I have a boy in my class who is permanently in a wheel chair. He can walk short distances and does not like to be left out of activities. He is an extremely smart child. I have another child who is a cancer survivor. She is very brave but sometimes her worries about life and living effect the way she is in the classroom.
My students come from all sorts of different backgrounds.
Every family is different. So many different personalities all put together in the same classroom. Making a room where each student feels safe and happy is my goal with the donors choose money. That is why I am asking for help in making my classroom a more colorful place.
My Project
I want to make my classroom a beautiful place. As a first-year teacher, there are many materials that I do not have in my classroom. Things such as a printer so that I can easily print things off, such as students writing. Students always want a hard copy of their writing in class. This would be so convenient. A big focus of mine in the classroom is reading. Having a reading nook is so important to me. I need reading chairs that make the space comfy and inviting the students. As part of making the room inviting means color. I need color for my walls. The butterfly set I requested is to help make my walls more colorful. I want the classroom to be colorful to avoid blank, white walls. The large colorful carpet is also requested to give my classroom a more colorful and fun feel.
Books are so important to a 4th grade class.
I would love to have more books. Books that are new and relevant to 4th graders. We love to read in this class. Games are such an important part of learning. I want my students to have lots of spelling games so that I can create game centers. I want to create fun ways to learn spelling in my classroom. Overall I just want to creating a classroom where students feel safe and happy.
