Every single item on my list will benefit my students. I love to have my students work in groups and create fun and engaging activities. In the supply list I have included classroom decorations and stamps to help decorate my classroom and motivate my students. Also, I do not have any Science books and it is crucial to include reading into the lesson. There are some Science lab kits. These are hands on activities that I will using as centers and to provide to my visual learners. I have noticed that students need love and attention even in the 5th grade. That why I always take my time to celebrate their birthdays by giving them a birthday pencil and treat. I have included some teacher resources to help keep our classroom clean and organized. When the teacher is ready to teach and the classroom is well organized and prepared, the students are ready to learn. I will be using these for our class materials, supplies and storage. The aquarium will be a great addition to my Science classroom it will used during lessons like the ecosystem and the food-chain lessons. The game buzzers will be a great addition for make the lessons fun. Student's deserve a rewarding education that is provided with the necessary resources.
