My Project

Even though Covid-19 happened a few years ago, it has had lasting effects on our teachers and students. This year, I hope to continue to move my students forward from the effects and help them have a positive, safe, and fun year. The materials on my list would be an amazing donation to our class. The donations would help with classroom management and allow the students to experience the joys of art.

This year, I moved down to second grade and I’m still trying to gather supplies for my own class and for the students I teach.

In the lower grades, we do a lot of teaching whole group at the carpet. This helps the students focus and stay engaged. Right now, my students are just sitting on the classroom carpet. I would love a school rug where the students can sit and learn on a nice, clean space. I chose the rug with squares because keeping the students in their own space will help with classroom management and behavior.

Every Wednesday at our school, the students get to rotate through their special classes. During specials, students get to learn things like art, music, P.E., computer science, drama, and other elective classes. This year, I was chosen to teach art. I rotate to all of the second grade classes and teach them art. This is my first year teaching art, so that is why I’m requesting different art supplies, such as white construction paper, black permanent markers, paint, and paintbrushes. I’m trying to expose the students to different mediums of art. I’m also requesting a teacher’s pull cart to help bring all of my art supplies to the different classrooms. Thank you for reading my post.
