This year is my first year teaching. I graduated from The University of Northern Colorado in May 2020 and was lucky enough to get a job teaching 5th grade. Due to the pandemic, I have struggled to afford many of the supplies that I need for my classroom. During my first semester, I had 28 students and had to transition from hybrid learning to in person learning, and finally remote learning. My class was quarantined for 2 weeks during the semester. This was extremely challenging.
Luckily, we are back in the classroom now and I now have a class of 20 students after hiring another teacher. After the first week in person, I determined that I needed some more supplies to truly make my classroom a safe and comfortable spot for students to learn. Many of the items on this list will help me achieve this goal!
