My Project

Hello I am Mr. Dunch instructor of Dunbar's 3-5 emotional support. My classroom faces many challenges as I meet the social and emotional needs as well as academic needs of my students. However a consistent issue with many classrooms is the need for various tools that are outside the scope of what is typically provided.

The items on this list will help streamline the behavioral incentives, organizational, decorative, academic, and unique needs of my students to help them bloom into their best selves.

Going through this list of items asked for I will explain each of the items I asked for and how it will help 309. The Pacon Classroom Keepers 30-Slot Mailbox and Eamay Small Group Management Pocket Chart will help organize students turning in work and help organize what small groups they should be in through various times throughout the day respectively. The Surebonder Cordless/Corded High-Temperature Mini Hot Glue Gun, Sproutbrite Classroom Decorations, and Gorilla Hot Glue Sticks will help me to decorate and create decorations for the classroom. The Black Chalkboard Contact Paper Roll is for my students who draw on their work and desks and gives them a positive behavior alternative. The removable chalkboard labels serve a dual purpose as labels for organization in the classroom but also can be reusable labels for activities. Large Utility Hooks and Ultra Grip Hooks Wall Hooks are to create a place where students can hang and organize their book bags, coats, and other belongings in our classroom's backroom. The ONEDONE Punch Cards Reward Punch cards sound like a fun and intuitive way for the students to keep track of their behavior and earn rewards such as the items in the Fidget Toys Pack.
