When a student begins a new school year, organization is key. Kids can't be organized and feel prepared to be successful if they don't have the supplies they need. If a child starts class with necessary materials, they are more likely to feel valued and a part of the class. When a child feels that they have value, they can succeed! Last year I bought and supplied students with 75 composition books, 1,288 pencils, 42 binders filled with notebook paper, 26 pencil pouches, and countless pieces of notebook paper so that my students would have what they needed to be confident and organized throughout the school year. I remember to this day the smile on a new student's face when I told him I would make sure he had all the supplies he needed for school. He had come from another school and lacked confidence. He needed to know someone cared. Helping him get his supplies labeled and in order was one of the highlights of my year. He was more grateful than any student I have ever taught. After that he felt good about being organized, and he knew he was going to make it in his new school. Students in my inclusion classes need the following items for their five academic classes: 2 binders, notebook paper, 2 dry erase markers, a pencil pouch, 3 sets of binder tabs, 4 composition notebooks, pencils, pens, and colored pencils. I find that the students who can not afford these items come to school with spiral notebooks and maybe a folder. These items are cheap to buy, but when a teacher uses a composition book or binder for class organization, my students feel left out and unorganized at set up time. These items will help my students feel prepared.
