In the upcoming year, I will be inheriting another brilliant group of students. We need to create a classroom that will encourage growth. 5th grade is such an exciting year in a child's life and it should be an exciting classroom experience as well.
I always expect excellence from my kids and they deserve an environment that reflects that ideal.
My students bring a lot of energy and interest into the classroom. In return, I do my best to make my classroom as inviting and exuberant as possible using any resources I can find. However, my kids need supplies that will allow them to have the engaging learning experiences they deserve. I am fortunate to have many involved parents, however a lack of district funding makes it difficult for us to get the supplies that our kids are worthy of.
My Project
In the coming year, I will be welcoming fifteen brilliant students into my classroom. My teammates and I want to get our students involved in more project based learning. Our kids are so engaged when they're moving around. It seems odd to keep them confined to desks all day. It's time to get up and moving.
My students need a place where they can get out of their seats and be comfortable during groups and stations.
We do lots of hands-on science activities in our classroom. It would be wonderful to have more space for the kids to move around and get thinking. This space would also be a great additional work space for our STEAM projects. Our class should be comfortable and welcoming to anybody who visits. Right now, classroom carpets and soft seating options are the major pieces missing from our class. Thank you so much for your consideration and support!
