My Project

Good readers need basic learning supplies. These materials will impact their learning because it will give them basic supplies like pencils and dry erase markers that will assist in their learning. With these supplies, I will be able to create a classroom space that is clean, organized and ready for students to learn. The composition notebooks will be used to teach writing, grammar and vocabulary. The dry erase markers and sentence strips will be used during small group instruction, in which students will be place is groups of 4 - 6 based on academic need. During small group instruction, students will build sentences with support from a leveled text, practice vocabulary and building new words. These school supplies will greatly improve my classroom and the ways students engage in learning.
