My students need supplies such as markers and colored pencils to help them with hands-on learning experiences in the classroom along with materials to assist them in staying organized and prepared for learning.
The students in my classroom are mainly sophomores with a few freshmen, juniors and seniors occasionally added into the mix. They are energetic and enjoy being with their classmates. The school is a county school where many students live in the more rural parts of the community. My students enjoy discussing politics and learning about how our government works and the policies they see in the news today. They also enjoying discovering how things we see in today's society can be connected to our past and how things of the past have helped shape the world, country and community they live in today.
My Project
The hole punch will help students stay organized and be able to keep up with classroom worksheets and materials they want to include in their binder. The pencils will help students who forget or misplace their writing utensil to be prepared for the classroom activities of the day and an electric pencil sharpener will help provide them with a more efficient way to have their new pencil ready for use!
The markers and colored pencils will allow my students to create artistic and attractive classroom projects that allow them to collaborate in groups or to help create their own pieces of work when trying to expand their learning on new material.
In learning about the government and how it works the students create Constitution books that allow them to learn about each of the 27 amendments that help protect their rights and expand our government! The students also work in groups to collaborate on ideas for new material and create posters to help themselves and other students learn and retain new information.
