My Students

Students need and enjoy privacy when working, especially with 22 3rd graders in the classroom. I have been using old file folders stapled together, but they fall over easily, they're ugly, and the staples can scratch us!

We have an awesome school in a family-oriented neighborhood.

Our principal, staff, and parents all show a lot of support and enthusiasm. The students are very curious and have lots of energy. We try to make learning exciting in order to keep students engaged. Some of their favorite things include hands on learning activities such as scoot, write the room, partner spinner games, and cake walk. We are adjusting to the math Standards of Learning which are designed to raise the academic achievement of all students. Third graders enjoy a terrific combination of hard work and fun.

My Project

I am requesting a class set of privacy boards, dry erase markers, and individual student dry erase boards. Students put up the boards for privacy when taking tests and when they need privacy to think better in the classroom and more! They use them several times per week. With 22 students in the classroom, the desks are close together. This creates numerous distractions. A student might see another child finishing a test more quickly and start to feel anxiety. There are temptations to copy or talk during a test. I’m currently using hand-made versions of old file folders stapled together. These have been frustrating because they fall over, they come apart, the staples can scratch, and they are unpleasant to look at! I use dry erase markers daily because they keep my students more engaged. Doing the same problems with paper and pencil is work for them but using dry erase is fun! I am requesting the privacy folders, dry erase makers, and dry erase boards from School Specialty because they are of good quality. Furthermore, the boards will not fall over, and don't have dangerous staples.

It may not seem like a big deal to a non-teacher, but having a way to set up privacy during tests is very important to a teacher and keeping students engaged is the key to learning.

How can you properly assess the students' progress if they are looking at their neighbors' work? Just like working adults in an office have cubicles, students need a space to call their own. These privacy folders also offer a respectful way to change the students' public desks into a little space of their own to get work done. They are essential.
