My Project

These items will specifically get my classroom ready to be a learning lab. All materials will be at the students' fingertips as well as the adults in the room. The name plates are to help the students know where they sit. The name plates have reference guides as well. They will display the multiplication tables, a number line, left-right, the alphabet and more. The big number line and math manipulatives will help the students visualize adding and subtracting. The alphabet/number line will guide those students who have trouble identifying them. The glue sticks, crayons, and tape will aid the students in projects and school work. The folders will keep the children organized as we go through our day. The calendar is one to replace our current one which is run down and needs a face lift.

All of these tools will be used on a daily basis.

I am excited to see where next year will take us with our new materials.
