A typical day in my classroom is structured and routine. Students know what is expected and rise up to the expectations.
My school is 60 percent free and reduced lunch, but does not qualify for Title I funding.
This makes resources very scarce. My students come from different backgrounds and cultures. School is a place where they can express themselves in a safe environment.
My Project
All of the materials that are being requested are going to help with classroom management.
Pencil Sharpener- This will allow me to sharpen pencils in the classroom and save me many trips to the work room. It will also relieve stress in the classroom knowing that if your pencil breaks you will be able to sharpen it.
Headphones- This will help control the noise volume in the classroom. When students are working on the computer they will be able to put the headphones on.
Privacy testing area- This will help with classroom management during a test. Students will have their own area to work and eyes will not be wandering.
5 minute sand timer- This will help keep track of time during activities giving students a visual prompt.
Reusable write and wipe boards- These will come in handy when it comes to posting things around the room that change sometimes such as schedules, centers, etc.
All of the materials that are being requested are going to help with classroom management.
The classroom will run much smoother, which will result in more academic learning time for students.
