My Students

A day in the life of a first grader at our school, includes silliness, curious questions, writing stories, practicing using our manners, brilliant ideas, dance parties, listening to our favorite authors and hard work. They enjoy spending time outside, learning through play and fostering friendships that will carry them through their educational career at our K-8 school. Hands-on learning and integrating technology into their skill building and projects excites them as learners.

Our energetic group of students enjoys learning using a hands-on approach.

They are movers and shakers and enjoy a variety of work areas, tools, dividers, seating choices and movable work surfaces. These tools help increase their focus, provides them with movement as they work and helps them feel accomplished and successful.

My Project

My students need stools for guided reading groups, as well as supplies and materials for work stations. My reading table is much higher than the chairs in my classroom. Students will be much more comfortable on stools that are the right size for them and our taller table. Having stools will improve student focus while working in guided reading groups.

Our students have mastered the structure of participating in guided reading groups and practicing literacy skills in work stations.

We are asking for various supplies and materials that are needed for guided reading and work stations. We are in need of a pocket chart and magnetic literacy game for our stations. In guided reading we need dot stickers to labels leveled books, magnets for students to hang work and highlighting tape to highlight sight words or vocabulary words in guided reading books and big books.
