My Students

In the classroom, we spend a lot of time working on language arts skills: writing, literary elements, grammar, and more. Fitting in all of these areas each day can be a challenge, but it can be made easier with the right materials.

My students are bright, creative, fun, energetic, and they have a short attention span.

They are young children, and children need their interest to be held in a variety of ways. The students that I teach enjoy visual and hands-on activities and lessons. Each student is an individual that has different styles of learning. I hope to better meet all of their learning styles with access to more materials.

My Project

My students need language arts skill building materials like Word-Of-The-Week Vocabulary Chart, Literature Magnetic Teaching Charts and Common Core Writing to Texts Activities. These materials will make it possible to provide the students with more creative lessons that will hold their attention. Some students need large visual representations of what we are working on together, and they need it organized in a neat, easy to read way. Other students need interactive activities on the classroom computer to help them build their skills. Each student is different, which means that I need a variety of materials to assist in teaching them all. These items will be used to better teach my students Common Core objectives in Language Arts.

When something clicks for a student, you get to see a moment where they finally understand something that they have been working hard to master.

I need these materials so that I can reach out to more of my students in more ways. I want them to be confident and proficient in their language arts subjects. As a first year teacher, I started from scratch. These materials will not only help my students this year, but students for many years to come.
