This is my 4th year teaching and in September I will be teaching 4th grade. Last year I received an overhead projector and could not use it in our class room because I did not have a projection screen. I tried to use a sheet on the wall but it just wasn't clear enough for the entire class to see. I am asking for your help - I would love to use my overhead projector everyday. I am asking for a projection screen to make it easier to use in our classroom. I think it is a really great way to model writing for the class. The entire class can see the piece of writing and the process that occurs in writing. The kids can also share their own writing on an overhead transparency, which is another great way to publish their writing. I will also use this during shared reading. Sometimes on chart paper the children have a hard time seeing over a students' head. Sometimes in math we have to do a page together and it is hard to do it on the carpet. They all have their books and pencils and it would be much easier for them to stay in their seats and look up at a screen for help. Fourth grade is a testing grade and test prep is very important to get the kids ready. Having activites on overhead transparencies will make it easier for the kids to see the process of finding the main idea, looking for details and summarizing. In order for me to create these activites our class will need a projection screen and a few boxes of transparency sheets. Thanks for your help...let's start the year off with a bang!
