I am a second grade teacher. Our school is an inner city public school where nearly all students come from low-income households. Many of the children need extra help to become fluent readers. My students greatly benefit from on line reading programs.
In our school some children do not come to school with the basic supplies.
I would love to provide them some supplies to make their writing more exciting and colorful. New personal books make a world of difference!
My Project
These new books will encourage my class to write stories. With each story they can illustrate a picture and color it in brightly with new crayons.
We can also use the chart paper to brainstorm ideas for their writing projects.
We can use the chart paper to create graphic organizers to help them get ready to write.
Finally, my students can use clean, new headphones to go on their research based reading and phonics program on their laptops. They can hear their program through the headphones so that they can concentrate. Right now, they do not have headphones and the classroom is too loud during computer time.
