The items I am asking for will be used in the classroom to help my students learn in different ways and it will also strengthen their math and science knowledge. It will give them the opportunity to be creative and build. Students need various ways to learn because of their learning styles. Every student learns differently and every student deserves to have what they need to be successful in school. Having these resources available will help my students that struggle to stay focused because they will have something that keeps them on track and ready to learn each lesson for the day. Along with items that help them stay focused my goal is to prepare my students for the future by providing them with the necessary tools in math and science. Many jobs that they will desire to seek after will require them to critically think and solve both math and science problems and learning the basics of these skills now is a big deal. My students will use the value blocks, dice and geometric shapes on a daily basis to practice their counting skills and move on to higher levels of math. They will use the magnetic letters to form sight words as well as create simple sentences to develop their literacy. All of these individual skills will come together throughout the year to help my students grow in all subjects. My goal for my students is for them to be able to grow in math, science and reading beyond their grade level, so that they are able to excel as they move on through school. As a first grade teacher I am setting the foundation for these students' education. Without a strong foundation students will struggle, so my goal is to prepare them to be life long learners.
