My Students
I am a 3rd grade teacher in a small town country school in Oklahoma. I teach math to 40 students every morning and then science and social studies to my homeroom class in the afternoons. Most of my students are Hispanic/Latino.
My students are always full of life when they walk in my classroom.
This makes teaching them so much fun! They are always eager to learn new things and always up for a challenge. All of my students are very kind hearted and wanting to please.
My Project
I am needing materials to help with organization, replacing the old, and brand new items to make the classroom feel a little more inviting. All of these things will help my students along with helping me.
Some of the old things I am wanting to replace is what I am using for my dry erase boards.
Right now I am just using pockets and they are starting to get worn out and torn. They are also flimsy. The new boards are sturdy and a lot smaller, so they will take up less space. I am also needing new clipboards. The ones that I have now work fine but I don't have enough for all my kids to have one. It will be nice to have enough for all my students if we want to go work outside on a nice day or I have things posted around the room.
Materials to help make the classroom feel more inviting would be the body pillows and the bean bag chair. These are mainly for when we have AR time. My students love to read around the room and I think it will be more of an incentive to read and want to read if they are comfortable. Most of the organizing tools are for me. It is for my desk that way I am able to find thing quick and easy. Even for a sub it will be very useful because my teammates will know exactly where things are at.
More than half of students from low‑income households
