My students are struggling readers in a small, rural community. About 50 percent of the children in our school are from low-income families. I will be serving 45 students each day in our reading intervention program. These students mainly come from kindergarten through third grade. Because I try to serve as many students as possible throughout the day, there is very little time to transition between groups.
My intervention classroom needs book bins, supply caddies, letter trays, and other storage options which will keep the lesson materials organized for the students.
These requested materials will ensure that supplies are close at hand and ready to use for each group as they come in to work with me.
My Project
We've all heard the saying, "A place for everything, and everything in its place." A class can run more efficiently with this as its motto. I believe the classroom can be more inviting to the students if it is organized and visually pleasing. It is important for my students to feel that my reading intervention classroom is a place where they want to be and where they feel they belong.
My intervention students deserve a clean, cheerful, well-ordered environment in which to learn.
It is not always easy for children to be pulled out from their familiar homeroom class. As students walk into my room, it is my goal to help them feel safe and happy so that they are ready to do their very best work. I feel that having a well-structured intervention classroom can help students to feel comfortable. If they do, they will come in ready to learn because they do not have to deal with the little worries that can distract them. With so many groups in my room each day, and very little, if any, time between them, we need to have an organized system which will reduce wasted instruction time and will help us get our lessons started on the right foot each day.
