My Project

A teaching resource is a piece of material that is intended to aid in the process of learning and knowledge acquisition. My students enjoyed a bright and colorful class when I was a kindergarten teacher, and it was very inviting. My resources will assist me in being more prepared, organized, and ready for my scholars. I am an ICT teacher, and I work with both general and special needs students, as well as IEPs. Storage is critical in my classroom. When I am absent, the sub will know where all of my materials, lesson plans, IEPs, records, and so on are. The bins would be useful for guiding reading, and my students would be able to see which books they needed based on their grade level. My IEP students work best with hand-eye coordination, so some of the materials in class would be beneficial to them. When we are learning letters, an all-about me chart would be ideal for circle time and small groups. The magnetic goal allows me to demonstrate what my students are learning in class every day. Please assist me in improving my classroom environment in order to improve my resources for my scholars for the upcoming school year beginning in August 2022. Thank you for your help.
