My second graders are eager to learn! I want to provide them with a classroom environment that is exciting, intriguing, and organized. They don't always have the supplies and support they need. I try to provide all the basics for them, but I fall short on the more expensive items. Their little eyes get so big when they realize that my classroom is their classroom and that they can use anything that will help them to learn. There is nothing that can replace warmth and comfort in the classroom. I try to lower their anxiety about learning and raise their interest by creating an environment that allows so much growth.
My Project
So much of what a teacher and students do in each day is all about staying focused. It's hard enough to compete with all the electronics and fast-paced things that bombard a child every day.
As a teacher, I try to keep them engaged and excited to learn.
The supplies, like books, new chairs, clocks, and many games that are for learning all help me do just that!
The learning games and manipulatives will make learning more fun! Kids love to play and if they get to learn at the same time...Win-Win! Better prepared readers and mathematicians are on their way!
