My students need Sit & Teach Mobile Media Cart, Rattique Baskets and a variety of books including: Down the Rabbit Hole, The Leanin" Dog, Gossamer, Mockingbird and many more titles!
"Organization is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up."- A.A. Milne
We are a filled to the brim class of 32 fifth grade students. A typical day in the room is not a chaotic as one might imagine but it can get disorganized quickly.
This is my second year with this class.
I looped up with these students from fourth grade to fifth grade and I could not be happier. I have to admit, I am one lucky teacher because I have the best class,not only in the fifth grade, but in the ENTIRE school!
My Project
I have a class of super stars who love, love, love to read. They are all reaching their reading goals faster than I anticipated and now I am in need of more high level books. With the request of the books, I am also going to need a place to store these books along with some other materials they have, so I am also requesting bins. Also because we do shared reading often, and I teach reading lessons off of my laptop on the smartboard, I would love a real station where I can store all my materials. My laptop is the source for most lessons so that is why I am requesting the mobile media cart. Because there are so many of us, this would help me teach from anywhere in the room!
The bin and desk donations will help my classroom tremendously!
With 32 students, being disorganized in the classroom can lead to confusion and delays during the day which is what I want to avoid. With these items, I can help keep my classroom orderly and on task.The high level books will help to continue my students love for reading. The new books will definitely be welcomed by the kids, especially the ones who have been rereading the same books because they have finished the ones in their library.
