I am a brand new teacher, who just finished college in two years. I come from a family of educators and am dedicated to improving our educational system. I am a third generation sixth grade teacher and I am in need of the basics to promote an engaging learning environment. I am requesting dry erase clipboards with markers and erasers to help facilitate student engagement and checking for understanding, specifically in the area of math. When students are able to show what they know and receive instant feedback they tend to be more focused an attentive to the learning process. In addition, I am also requesting headphones with storage and a green pop-up tent to serve as a green screen room. It is my hope that these resources will help to provide the basics in effort to incorporate 21st century opportunities, such as creating video reports with green screen technology like Flipgrid. Students need engaging project based learning opportunities and I am hopeful that then resources will support that as well. I am also requesting some basic supplies such as mechanical pencils to assist with classroom management and procedures. In addition I hope to incorporate some flexible seating options. I have a couch and I am requesting a gamer chair because I think the boys will think it's cool. Perhaps it will serve as a means to support struggling students as an incentive as well. Lastly, I am requesting two high interest informational texts to help support literacy and engage my students in nonfiction reading. I am also requesting a professional development book to help support me as a new educator. Thank you for your consideration!
