My Students
My 5th-grade class is a unique one that includes general education students and special education students who are working on social and emotional goals. We are adjusting back to in person school after a crazy year last year of remote learning and hybrid learning. My students will be learning both academic skills, like how to write a literary essays and how to multiply fractions, and social-emotional skills, like how to be resilient during this pandemic and how to be a good friend.
We have many low-income families in our class and want to make sure all of our students have the tools they need to learn this school year!
Our school's number one priority this year is the psychological well-being of our children, and we hope to build academic skills upon that foundation. We need some different learning tools this year to be successful and to build a classroom community.
My Project
My class needs some supplies that fall into two buckets: blank surfaces and colorful materials with which to fill them! I am asking for a white board and dry erase markers along with drawing paper, crayons, and markers. These materials will help me and my co-teacher to do more small group instruction in all areas, and the art supplies will help our students unleash their creativity.
We need a second white board in our class so that my co-teacher and I can both teach small groups in separate areas of the room, allowing us to provide more targeted instruction for our students.
Having two teachers in a classroom is a wonderful benefit of co-teaching, but the challenge is needing double the materials to do so. A new whiteboard would bring our class's learning to a new level and make it easier to provide visuals for our students, which are especially necessary for our students with special needs.
We also need the art paper, crayons, and markers so that our students can have an opportunity for art education. This year, our class does not have an art teacher. Our class contains fabulous artists, and we'd love to allow their creativity to come to life with some more markers beyond the few dried-out ones we have left in our bin.
More than half of students from low‑income households
