I will be able to engage my students more effectively in small group settings, particularly in regards to foundational skills and phonics programs. The whiteboard allows me to see exactly what students are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. Many of my special education students are very easily distracted and fidget when asked to sit and focus for extended periods of time. These supplies will allow me to supplement other strategies by making my classroom a more inviting and comfortable learning environment. I will also be able to build safe spaces within my classroom for my students to read and complete independent work. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work. Any help is much appreciated!
