As a first year teacher, I have found myself purchasing many of my classroom supplies and would greatly appreciate any donations. Although our classroom has been functioning well for the first portion of the school year, I believe that there are some supplies still needed to enhance student learning. The materials that I have requested will allow my students to learn through exploration. A goal of mine is to provide my students with multiple means of representation, engagement, and expression as they navigate through math, science, physical education, social studies, literacy, and art during their fourth grade year. My students are hardworking, motivated, and take great care of currently provided classroom supplies. All of the whiteboard surfaces and related materials will allow students to practice class content for math, science, and ELA. The whiteboard supplies will also be utilized daily in whole and small group instruction as well as interventions. The books requested will be added to our classroom library, all of which have been requested by my eager readers. The play-dough, legos, and large anchor chart paper will be used for various STEM activities. The gator balls will be used for collaborative, team building exercises and daily physical education. Lastly, the digital mouse will help me to present information to my students from any point in my classroom, allowing me to rotate around the room as I teach to provide my students with as much assistance as possible. All of these supplies would help to provide a rich learning environment where students are able to build on their skills in collaboration, teamwork, physical wellness, and learning though experience. Many of these materials will also continue to be used to support students in coming years. Please help me keep my students excited to learn, explorative, and active.
