My Project

I inherited a classroom with an odd paint theme and limited supplies. I will be painting it a light teal with navy accents. I have tried to coordinate some of the decorative items I asked for to match this theme.

Testing scores were very low last year; I know my students will need some remediation.

I asked for resource books (math & reading) to help pull extra practice when I run my intervention groups.

I will need supplies to help with whole group instruction. Pencils are a must. Sand timers will help set the pace for conquering short tasks. Large post-it notes and chart paper will help us keep and post our thoughts for later reference. A class set of clip boards and dry-erase boards (& markers) will allow us to be mobile while working. I have also asked for dry erase magnets so kids can write and post answers. I have asked for colorful markers and index cards so that we can make crafts out of our learning. I have asked for reading cubes to make discussing literature more exciting.

I teach reading, but do not currently have a reading corner. To help create this; I have asked for bean bag chairs, the filler for them, and a large navy rug.

I have asked for pocket sleeves and bulletin border so that I can make some spaces to display student work. I have also asked for starbursts to give as rewards for hard work. Our mascot is a Bull dog pup, so I asked for the paw-print bulletin board to add a little school spirit to our room.

Wax sticks, math magnets, the clock display, and the dry erase number lines can be used in math centers and small groups. Highlighters will be useful for our ELA instruction.
