My students need a taller teaching easel so they can all see what we are learning! All other items in this project are to ease classroom fluidity and free up some space for us to learn!
My students show up ready to learn every day! They are a group of creative, hands-on learners who love to explore and grow in a variety of ways.
We have two classroom mottos: "We always do our best" and "We just don't know it YET".
Throughout the day we use small group learning, music and dance, and alternative seating to ensure that all learning styles are incorporated and everyone has a chance to shine. We work hard and play hard all day long!
We are in a small community on a reservation and have a four-day school week which means our days are very long. Many of my students come from backgrounds with few resources at home so we try to make school a time to fulfill all needs.
My Project
My students will benefit from our new teaching easel in a variety of ways. We'll be able to practice writing, sight words and spelling at a height that is easy for all of us to use! It's high enough for the kiddos to see over each other which is a huge improvement over what we have currently.
We have a fairly small room and I try to keep it as organized as possible, every inch of saved space helps.
Students will be able to easily see our writing workshops now (and have plenty of paper to get us through the year!) We will save a ton of space by organizing our iPad storage with the Bamboo Charging Station Rack and the Smart Technology Charging Station. The Counting Caddie and Place Value Chart will be utilized in our morning routine when we count the days we've been at school. Having something tangible to use really helps the kinders visualize the numbers and allows me to accommodate multiple learning styles.
My students love to be able to do everything themselves and with our wishlist we are setting ourselves up for years of success!
