Forget The Mistake. Remember The Lesson!

My students need dry erase materials and stools for small group reading and math lessons! This will help them to work through challenging material and sit comfortably at the table with the teacher.

My Students

Being a first year teacher, I want to give my students the best educational experience possible. My school is filled with a diverse population which makes for a rich, educational environment. I want to inspire my students to go beyond the classroom and experience the world around them, sometimes without even having to leave the room! Even though I have yet to meet my students, I know that when the school year comes around, I will be able to supply them with every resource and experience possible to ensure their success.

I want to give them a safe and stimulating educational environment that allows them to take the knowledge they learn in the classroom and apply it in their own lives!

School has changed to be a more interactive experience that allows students to thrive in all areas. I hope that my students will be prepared to take hold of their learning experience and be as excited as I am to jump into the new school year. I hope that you choose to embrace my future students and I as we begin this new journey into 4th grade together!

My Project

For my classroom, I love small group pull out for reading and math! It is the perfect way to see where each student is at and aid any student that might be struggling with the lesson. I want to create a small group area where I can enrich students where they need help! Everybody makes mistakes and I want to give my students the ability to learn from those mistakes through the use of dry erase materials while giving them an inviting place to sit down for small groups!

Dry erase materials and stools allow students to express their ideas and thoughts comfortably without making it permanent!

Students can erase, reevaluate, and redo their work at this small group table and not be afraid to share their ideas with me or their fellow classmates. Students need a place to sit as well! Having stools provides more space to move around the classroom while giving them a change of scenery for small group lessons.
