In order for my vision to come to life, I need the supplies and materials to make it possible. With a healthy book budget, I have the academic portion covered, but the aesthetics in the room are lacking. For instance, the poster that describes the rules of the library is yellowed and old. I want students to know the rules are important. They exist out of mutual respect for their friends and me, and that drab old poster doesn’t impart my message. I have a bulletin board outside my room that I have so many ideas for! I just need the materials to make my visions come to life. I don’t have bookmarks to give to students who choose a chapter book or stickers to say good job! Before I address students higher order needs, I want to address their basic needs and create an environment that is positive and encouraging. If students are in a place that they feel comfortable, they are so much more open to learning.
