My Project
As a new school year begins, new supplies are needed. My students go through supplies quickly, and we always seem to not have what is needed all the time. In order to continue success in the classroom, having the supplies that we need will allow for continuous learning and make the most of our time.
My students work best when they have uninterrupted time in class, and that would work when they have all of their supplies.
During small groups and some larger group activities, using white boards help when working out math problems. Learning more about measurement is great when everyone has a ruler. Doing certain projects calls for scissors and colored pencils. Having pencils with nowhere to store them is just like not having a pencil. Having journals to aid with lessons help us stay sharp in classes.
All the products that I've chosen will help my students by giving them the opportunity to stay engaged in learning and get more out of our school day. I see how having adequate supplies positively affect my students' work and demeanor, and I hope that having what they need will help us grow even more!
