An Exciting Opportunity ... Going Back to the Classroom
Help me give my students a classroom with materials to enhance their educational experience such as, activities, flashcards, tools and resources. Binders will become writing folders and anchor charts will provide visual aides for all types of learners.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My students are special because they are in a small charter school. Specifically, many times these students had a bad experience in another school and are looking for a smaller setting. Many times this is a chance to start over. As a small group teacher, who walks the building to pick up students, you get to know all the students and staff quickly. This type of setting allows you to build positive relationships; many students feel special when everyone knows their name. Unfortunately, this small school doesn't have a lot of funds and since I am moving from a small group teacher to opening a new classroom from scratch.
My goal is to provide engaging ways for my students learn as well as an organized space for optimal learning, and I need the materials and resources to do so (I am not a "sit" and "get" teacher).
Specifically, I wanted dice, playing cards, flashcards, visuals and manipulatives to teach skills through games and this supports cooperative learning. Students love games, working with others and just getting out of their seats; movement gets the blood flowing. The pocket sleeves and pencil pouches help organizer these materials. In addition, white boards and markers allow students to practice skills and receive immediate feedback, limiting worksheets. Anchor charts/markers let the teacher and students collaboratively create specific visuals to post around the classroom for students to refer to-create "their" classroom atmosphere (not store bought). The binders and sheet protectors will enable me to create interactive writing binders where students will have resources, such as examples, checklists, rubrics, etc., to support teaching the stages of writing. Finally, the place value boards will be used in small groups to work on math skills that are difficult. Differentiation is the key to student success.
