My Students

As a new teacher, my upcoming students are special needs and are in a specialized school that serves the needs created by these disabilities. Many of my students come from low-income households and therefore come to school with little to no supplies. I have a new classroom with very little supplies or books and want to give my students the best shot. I also want to make my classroom highly efficient to teach them. I plan to create a classroom that promotes learning! Many of my students love to read but do not have access to appropriate books, and for this reason, I would like to have a great leveled library so they can excel in their reading ability. I would also like to set my classroom up with different bins with supplies so students can easily access materials to be successful. My students have many challenges in life, and I am excited to see them grow and learn using the materials you’ve provided to our classroom!

My Project

In order to prepare my students for success, the first thing I am requesting is a leveled library. I feel this is so important in a successful classroom to improve my students’ reading levels. I also believe that a classroom which is organized is essential for students to better accomplish tasks. This is why I am requesting bins for organization. I want my students to have supplies, and for them to easily be able to find what they need to better assist them with their work. I am also requesting schedules, calendars, dry erase boards and other items that will help my sidebar identify and access information throughout my new classroom. Although in the first year, this will only reach 8 students, these supplies will be used for years to come and will help so many students in the future!
