Many students in my classroom have special needs and unique learning disabilities. Some of the disabilities include autism, intellectual disabilities, and learning disabilities in the areas of math and reading.
The students in my classroom are hard workers, communicators, questioners, and very imaginative.
They love to share ideas. They are a very diverse group with many different learning needs who challenge me to be the best teacher I can be.
Many of my families qualify for free and reduced-price lunch. Because of that, I want to do what I can to help them feel successful while in school. Often times, students from low socioeconomic households do not receive the support at home that's necessary to help them become successful in their schooling. When they enter my classroom, they become my family for the year. I take them under my wing, give them the love, encouragement, and support they need to soar.
My Project
My third grade students would love some assistance keeping their supplies organized. We are asking for a storage unit to hold our classroom supplies. It is my goal to teach them to respect their supplies, which requires them to put them away neatly and safely.
Students need to be able to know how to be organized in order to succeed in everyday life and in the future.
This storage unit will help students learn where classroom supplies go after each use. Teaching them is a very critical skill of organization.
Students will be using this storage unit for books as well. They'll be able to find their favorite titles much easier using a more organized system than our current bookshelves.
