My Project

"The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery."

- Mark Van Doren

My students are inspiring second graders of varied abilities and language backgrounds. In many areas, a fantastic amount of growth is demanded of students during the school day. Various activities are needed to meet the high standards and expectations we have for them. Learning is more profound and lasting when students interact and engage with the material.

To meet students' individual needs, we meet as a whole class, in small groups, and individually, for focused direct instruction. Providing storage bins will allow students to maintain and access their learning materials independently. In promoting independent learner skills, students will develop ownership, pride, and motivation toward acquiring knowledge.

These storage bins and paper trays will help create an organized and calm classroom, and will help foster a positive learning environment where students can develop skills of independence and responsibility.

I want to create an environment with meaningful educational activities that help students become successful in many areas. Please help me get supplies that help students develop independence and responsibility.
