My Students

I'm a new teacher excited to make a difference in my 5th grade classroom. Our school is a failing school and we receive little to no supplies. Our classroom come equipped with the basics, but nothing to run an effective classroom. My principal suggested I create this account as our little lovelies are in high need. 45% of our kids just in my elementary school are homeless. More than three quarters of our populations is low income. Please help me to make this a beautiful, vibrant, and a highly effective classroom. Thank you in advance for the support of our needy students!

My Project

*Having individualized bins allow for easy access for my students during differentiated instruction. Students will be able to grab their bin with work in place and work at stations until it is their 1:1 time. *Basic needs such as paper/anchor chart paper reinforces concepts taught and allows for visualization in the classroom.* Pocket hangers allow for word walls that assist in student learning, sentence strips for modeled instruction, individualized schedules that assists students in easy transitions. Overall, these are basics to an effective classroom and my students need these materials in order to have a successful school year. Thank you for your time!
