Working in the city of Chester is challenging and rewarding. The resources are limited. Currently, we do not have many games and manipulatives. Most of my centers are teacher made. I know my students will be ecstatic to receive new materials. Through the materials I requested for my students, they will be provided with new and exciting learning activities. In Chester, one of the greatest challenges I face is to help my children work cooperatively in groups. This is such an important skill they need to be great citizens. The materials listed will help them academically. They will also help develop their social skills while working cooperatively in the groups. Their love for learning will be enhanced and life long friendships will continue to grow. They will look forward to learning daily.
