By giving students their personalized materials, I can work on building my student's responsibility and reflection. I will use the binders to create a work portfolio of work and projects that they can reflect on and be proud of. These materials will help me give personalized attention to each of my students without needing to worry about if I have enough materials for everyone in the classroom. My students can use the notebooks to take notes during our math class for when they are completing their math centers and review concepts as we go over more complex math concepts. During small group times, they can use the dry erase folders and markers to practice math worksheets and concepts. The clipboards will be used for students to work on work while using the alternative seating in my classroom.
