All of the materials requested were carefully selected to support Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop, as well as create a learning environment that students want to enter. A huge part of being a successful reader & writer, is being comfortable in your work space. I would like to create a classroom with flexible seating options, with the comforts of a calming, yet structured atmosphere. The tree seats will provide students with flexible seating options, the aromatherapy diffuser will create a calming environment, and the chime will be used to peacefully signal transitions and notify students of a teacher announcement. The time tracker will help students who need more of a structured environment visually, know how much time they need for a specific activity. The pencil grips will assist students who need extra support with writing, so that they can focus on the craft of writing rather than what it looks like. The organizing cart will be utilized to organize writing materials. The variety of requested texts are meant to spark students interest in reading. Many of my students are reluctant readers who need an extra spark of motivation to read. I hope for my students to gain confidence in themselves as readers and writers throughout the school year, by providing them with this safe, calm, welcoming and text rich environment.
