I want my students to be part of a classroom atmosphere that is student-centered and conducive to learning. Therefore, these resources will reinforce the lesson being studied, create an opportunity for individual discovery, expression, creativity, and construction of knowledge. Therefore, these materials will give my students a head start in this new school year. The books will be added to our small classroom library so students can have different titles to choose from for independent reading in the classroom and also at home. The books will also be useful during the first weeks of school for our lessons on community helpers and back to school activities. The listening center is a great resource for my struggling readers because they can listen to their favorite stories and build vocabulary. I would like for my students to have coat lockers with enough space to place all their belonging during the school day and each table a supply storage for their writing tools. A positive, supportive, and well-organized classroom environment, encourages student’s to be creative thinkers, work collaboratively, and actively engaged in the learning process. I would like for my students to receive a strong quality education with the resources that they need, that will support their unique learning styles.
