Re-stock Our Literacy Activities!

Help me give my students a fully stocked classroom experience! The pencils, glue sticks, and crayons are the bread and butter of our classroom. We use them daily to write, illustrate, craft, and sort.

My Project

One thing I've learned about teaching is that a good teacher creates space for the child to practice, practice, practice as much as possible! First graders have so much energy and so many of our classroom activities are very hands-on.

As a language arts/social studies teacher, so much of what we do is reading and discussing stories, and then responding with writing and illustrating our ideas.

That means we blow through pencils, crayons and erasers like they are going out of style! These supplies will help us keep our literacy class running like a dream.

Another essential daily activity that we do to reinforce spelling concepts is our phonics program. The kids absolutely LOVE using dry erase boards and markers to write the sounds and words they hear, and they can easily show me their work and then move to the next ones with these markers.

One thing that I've learned through experimentation is that if I am working with a small group--- my struggling readers or multilingual learners, for example -- the rest of the class needs a high quality learning activity to keep them occupied. Enter: word sorts! These activities help kids practice their fine motor skills (cutting and gluing) and even more importantly their recognition of various spelling patterns, letter sounds, etc. The kids LOVE sorting activities because they are so hands-on, and I love that the kids are occupied independently so I can focus on the kids who need the most help.
