My Project

The first day of school is always an exciting adventure. I am looking forward to setting up my room. This project will help provide station materials throughout the school year to support instruction. Having a classroom printer will ensure that whether the main copier is busy or experiencing issues my students will have readily access to materials for centers. In addition, I will be able to change out the materials as students master concepts. The learning center pocket charts will be used with the centers to enable students to work within their own space and keep materials organized.

My students have many struggles and academic achievement is a major disadvantage but regardless of their struggles, their effort and desire to learn, and enthusiasm is unmatched.

To encourage enthusiasm the motivational stickers will provide incentives for hard work.

As a self-contained teacher, I am the source of learning for all content. Students are in one classroom so with multiple content being taught my students will benefit from the organization the classroom storage bin bundle will provide. The math write-and-wipe boards, the 100 chart and the magnetic ten-frames will support the math instruction. These items will enable interactive and engaging math lessons.
