Fourth grade is a very interesting grade. My students come to me very curious about the world, forming their own little lives, and all wanting to learn!
As a teacher, I get some students in the beginning of the year who hate school and some who think it’s okay and just something they have to do.
My goal as a teacher is to have them begging to come to school and even disappointed if they have to miss school.
I have figured out how to do this. We have to make our classrooms a place where students are comfortable and forget they are even in a school. We also have to make learning engaging, hands-on and memorable!
My Project
I am asking for bean bags to give my students a comfortable place to sit and read. We just attended a sensory training that recommended bean bags, so it hits 2 birds with 1 stone.
We are currently sharing technology with other classrooms in the building, and this would give my kids a resource that would stay in our classroom to help with research for projects, small group instruction, and individualized learning.
We need technology that we can keep in our classroom!
We greatly appreciate any help that you can give! My goal is to make learning as fun, engaging and exciting as possible, and these items would help tremendously!
