This year we're focusing on a Ready to Learn mindset which includes having materials prepared, charged, and ready to go! Some of my incoming students have not been in a classroom in the past two years or have struggled to adapt to a classroom climate. My goal is to set expectations on what a learning environment looks like. A learning environment is organized, motivating, and positive which is why I made the following list. To meet our organizational criteria, we need Chromebook stands. I want my students to know that everything has a place and that it needs to be charged prior to our learning time. This is especially important in case we have to go online. A learning environment is also motivating and positive, which is why I intend to use the stamps to provide quick positive feedback and to use the goal tracker to encourage meeting class reading goals. The whiteboards and erasers are used to provide a way of academic engagement during content instruction, and the dice to provide an educational activity that will strengthen their mathematical skills. Finally, research has convinced me that fidget toys act as a way to differentiate settings for students who need something tangible in order to focus. It is my goal to provide that so they can meet our Ready to Learn mindset. Thank you for considering my project!
