Think back to a classroom that stands out in your memory. Does it stand out due to the teacher, the classroom, or both? I believe it's both. I would like to make my classroom a memorable one. I strive to be a great teacher and with your help for enriching materials, I can have an enriching classroom!
My Kindergarten students attend an urban charter school which is very sparse with its supplies.
At the beginning of the year we are supplied with a hook for each child, four tables, and 25 student chairs. Just enough to have 25 students sit at their tables, yet nothing more. My students are eager to learn and I would love to supply them with as much enrichment as possible.
My Project
Children at any age, especially Kindergartners, need facilitated social interaction to prepare them with much needed social skills for their future. Studies show that many classrooms are not preparing our children for our world today. Our current work world is socially based, where men and women must work together to create life changing inventions, cures, and action plans.
The building materials I am requesting, such as: blocks, logs, pipes, and so forth, will foster this need in my students. They will also give my students the opportunity to work with others by collaborating on ideas, taking turns, and creating something out of scratch.
I believe that there is no time too early to teach students how to work together creatively, to create something that is wonderful and much better than any one person could do themselves.
If all students could learn this life lesson at such a young age, could you imagine how the world would change? Well let's make that change in my students' lives!
