This will be my first year teaching, and I’ll be coming into a classroom with very little supplies and resources. I want my students to feel at home when they walk into my classroom, and I believe that these materials will help aid in my classroom organization that will allow my students to flourish everyday. In fifth grade, fractions are a majority of the math they will be learning. Using the fraction tiles will help students combine Smartboard to physical, hands-on learning. The large table will be used in many ways. Students will use it for reading and math centers, a place to work on art projects, and teacher/student discussion over books they’re currently reading. The whiteboards and reusable pockets will be useful in vocabulary lessons. These items are just the base of what I’d like to include in my classroom. I love engagement and hands-on projects, and the use of manipulative plays an active role in my students’ learning. With the help of these items, my students will be physically and actively engaged.
