Classroom Management Materials

Help me give my students structure and safety in the classroom. Having clear routines, procedures, and expectations is critical in a class's ability to run smoothly. Only then can learning take place.

My Students

Right now, I am teaching gened sixth grade math and a bridge special education class: a 12:1 SPED sixth, seventh, and eighth grade class in Harlem. My kids are bright, passionate students who have shown me they want to learn and be better.

My sixth graders are very energetic and excited to be in middle school.

Very talkative and very bright. They love coming to school and want to learn. I’m really excited to see what they will accomplish this year.

In my SPED class, most of the disabilities my students have are processing disorders, which is why I need to fill up my classroom with more visuals. These visuals will help even the playing field for them. Additionally, a lot of my students are ADHD and need to be more engaged.

More than anything though, I have respectful, hard-working kids who want to be better and I am trying my best as their teacher to give them everything I can get to help them succeed at school and life.

My Project

First off, I requested a large digital timer. Keeping pace in a classroom is critical. Currently, I have a small timer that I use, which helps me stay on track. However, my students cannot see this. I want a large enough timer to help teach my students time management skills. Secondly, I requested an iPad. We are introducing "Plickers" in my classroom, which is an app that instantly grades student responses to a multiple-choice question. I need the iPad to help grade them. This will help serve as a quick checkpoint for me, to see who is understanding the lesson objective, before releasing them to group work. In a class over 30 students, being able to grade instantaneously, will be a huge level for me. Additionally, I want to start using "Class Dojo" on the iPad to keep track of table points. My students are very motivated by incentives and rewards, that is why I also requited a bunch of colored pencils, erasers, etc. All of the materials I have requested will help my class run more smoothly, allowing for more learning to take place in my classroom.
