We start out eating breakfast and swiftly transition into our morning meeting. Then we kick off our two hours of reading. Next, we have math and I try to incorporate centers. We have lunch and recess, and then switch back to math. We then go to Fitness, and then return for social studies and science
I have sixteen first graders.
They are all hungry for an engaging learning experience. Most of my students come from low social-economic homes, most of my students are on free/reduced lunch. My students are struggling with behavioral issues, and I am constantly looking for new ways to improve my classroom management.
My Project
My students will use these materials every single day, on a rotation. My grandmother recently donated an old computer and tons of games to my classroom. While we are very appreciative of this service, we really need a monitor to learn with our new computer. I want individual headphones for all my students to minimize the spread of lice and germs. We are so excited to use our new to us computer to complete lessons and learn more with technology. :)
This donation will improve my classroom by giving me more motivational/positive reinforcement strategies.
I have many software discs, ready to install and start using. My students will think they're "playing" but they will be LEARNING! Learning is better, when it's fun. The headphones will show us to care for our precious resources.
