Help me give my students books to read, personal whiteboards and recess games!

My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!

My Project

I want to be able to bring more books into my classroom for my students to have access to. I want them to be able to read as much as they want and not be limited to just library books. I also have requested whiteboards for the students to help with engagement and allow the students to engage and participate in another way than just pencil and paper. I have asked for indoor and outdoor recess games. We need outdoor balls and jump ropes that will engage the students so that we have less behaviors outside. With winter approaching fast, I want to have something in my classroom for them to do while having to stay inside. I am a first year teacher trying to make magic happen in my classroom and I believe all of these items will help me do so.
