My Project

This cart will make a difference because coming into a Title I school, I want to start on the right foot with all my students to build a culture of family and belonging. I want our classroom to be welcoming and inviting in order to foster a positive learning community. In my classroom, I strive for, make mistakes, get messy, and learn along the way environment.

Providing a safe, welcoming, and warmly decorated classroom put students minds at ease.

This will help them to feel comfortable in the setting that I’ve created for them and they can begin to make it feel like it’s their home. Once this culture is set students will start to feel like a family with my guidance. Meaning that we should all be encouraging one another and rooting for each other successes. Through the items on my cart, me and my students will create a vibrant and warm classroom. Item such as chalk markers, water bottle, stickers, lucky, ducks, animal plush toys are all forms of classroom management items that I would like to use in my classroom. These can be used as incentives, reading buddies or writing pals. The other items such as a slot box or recording buttons are for student agency. The slot box is for students to submit their favorite songs so we can add it to our playlist. The buttons are for small group stations where I can record what’s needed at each station to complete. This also differentiates instructions to all students, especially the ones who read below grade level; which gives them support when doing independent stations. Other items such as lucky ducks are there to give the kids a bit of a boost when they’re feeling down.
