The energy in the room has changed; students are more engaged, motivated, and enthusiastic about participating in physical education.\r\n\r\nYou didn't just donate equipment—you allowed our students to learn, grow, and build confidence through sport.

They get the work completed because they know that cool sticker is on it's way to them.\r\n The post it anchor chart paper is a lifesaver for both the students and I. The students use it in math centers to solve their math problem on the wall since it sticks well. I have been able to post information they could refer to quickly on the math, science and reading walls with ease. Before the post it anchor chart paper I found myself tearing away at the other spiral type paper which took too much valuable time during instruction. \r\n Lastly, the wonderful popcorn used as an incentive for good grades has had them smiling big.

This design and organization method allows for more group work and collaboration among the students.\r\n Before we had the chair organizers and table caddies, we lost valuable time getting our journals and supplies. Now, students turn around and pull out their subject journal and go straight to work. They love it! They tell me they like to work. At this age I understand they need to stay busy and time wasted is a recipe for behavior problems. Behavior has greatly improved. That's a huge plus for me as a 1st year teacher!
