The dinosaur and Super Mario Brother materials will be used for classroom decorations to set the stage for students as soon as they enter my classroom. They are not going to know what is going on, but will be fully engaged! I did Jurassic Park last year and was not able to go all out because materials are too expensive. The materials we use in the classroom best benefit the students and the future! The office chair would be used to work at my small table with students were are really struggling. I can even use that chair as a reward! We use highlighters every quiz and test day. Students are required to highlight the word problems and identify the key points. With using that strategy also comes at a cost. The highlighters will not last me all year. The paper is for our Disney character unit for enlargement drawings.
