The students I teach come to school with a positive attitude about learning. They are exciting and eager to learn and help others to learn. Our school is located in a large metropolitan city in NC. We are a large school with a wide range of ethnicities and cultural diversity. There is nothing worse than being hungry and you're still trying to focus on the teacher. Students need to have access to snacks. The students I teach eat lunch during various hours of the day. Some eat almost 4-5 hours before dismissal, it is important that they receive additional nourishment. The snacks that have been requested are, or will be, portion controlled to stay within the recommended daily allowance for kids. Having the snacks will also provide additional support for parents who may have difficulty purchasing additional items. The candy items requested will be given to students as behavior awards and put into the treasure box. I have also request soft cushions sets for students. My classroom is very small and we have a rug but some students will not be able to sit on the rug. The soft cushions will allow flexible seating without having to sit on the cold hardwood floors. The pencil sharpeners will be an easier way for students to begin working without having to stand over a trash can. All cleaning supplies including the broom and Lysol wipes are to ensure students are learning in a clean environment. Many times students sneeze and are even made to come to school sick, having these materials will allow me to disinfect the classroom daily and in between lessons to ensure that germs are kept to a minimal.
