Learning through Small Groups!

Help me give my students a cozy place to learn in a small group setting.

My Project

Small group instruction is key to learning! My students would benefit greatly from a dry erase tabletop board, dry erase markers, and a rug. With this dry erase board, all of the students in the small group would be able to see what I'm writing at once. With a classroom rug, my students will have a comfortable environment to learn. It is optimal for students to have both their desks and a rug to sit at throughout the day. A classroom rug creates more space to discover, community build, play, and share. I'm also requesting some other classroom supplies such as pencils and pencil pals. These pencil pals are great because they keep our pencils from rolling off the desk.

We have so much ground to cover in 3rd grade that we have to maximize every minute of learning time.

My students are eager to learn and I hope to give them small group instruction that helps them grow and succeed in our classroom.
