My Students

Many of my students have an IEP. I am a brand new teacher. I'm a university intern in my first semester of the program. Most of my students have an AUT eligibility. I see them at different times throughout the day. The largest group is 7 as of right now.

My students are a loving group of kids.

They are well-behaved and deserve to have fun in my class. I want them to want to come to my classroom.

My Project

The items I'm asking for will help my students learn organization. The "mailboxes" has always been a success in my experience. When they come to my room, they will know to go to their bin/mailbox for the work they will be doing. I want to have file folders for each of them so when they go to their bin, they will be able to pick the folder for the day it is and be able to complete the work that is in that folder for the day/time they are in the room for that time period. Some students I see twice a day.

This system will also help me to be able to grab and go if I have to push in and have work planned for the student to do while I am in their classroom.
