My Students

My students are 4th graders in a New York City public school. They are in a dual-language program where they are learning in both French and English.

Half of the students speak English at home, and half of the students speak French at home, but in school they each spend every second day in each language.

They spend one day in an English classroom, then one day in a French classroom, then they return to the English classroom.

I have about 50 students each year, divided between the two rooms, and I work with a collaborating teacher. These supplies would be used in both classrooms.

My Project

When students come to the learning area to learn, it is important to get each and every one involved and participating. If you wait for students to raise their hands, you can only call on one at a time and many will choose to rarely raise their hands.

Instead, students can come to the learning area equipped with supplies to help them all participate.

This might be a whiteboard with erasable marker and eraser. It might be cards to help them vote for an answer (for example: true, false, yes, no).

What is needed, however, is a way to organize these supplies. These bags are large enough to fit lots of supplies, and sturdy enough to last for years.
