Help me give my students the opportunity for differentiated instruction in small, independent learning stations. Research shows that students learn best in small groups while working with their peers. I have chosen a variety of sets and activities that will promote both independent and small group learning. I have also requested a complete set of headphones so that my students may use the technology I have available. I was only provided with a set of 12 headphones that are just not holding up well. I would like to have a sturdier set and enough for all the students. I believe that with these supplies I will be able to improve my student's literacy skills and increase proficiency for all. Literacy skills are the fundamental bedrock of all other learning. Please help me provide these many varied opportunities for learning to my students!
