My goal with this project is to reach the students' environmental needs and establish a setting to which it will benefit their learning. This is crucial for a high poverty area, or any area for that matter. Over the past few weeks, my students have had a change in their schedule. They've been volunteering to do part in public speaking which is a HUGE step in the right direction for them. Hence, the reason for the laptop cart. The students will be creating and delivering an effective speech to the class. This will go with our lesson plans on the five steps to the writing process along with sharing their paper with the whole classroom. I believe there's a number of benefits public speaking does for students which includes overcoming fear of public speaking, developing leadership skills, and becoming a go-to person for ideas and solutions.
The materials in this project will be able to brighten my classroom and develop a home feeling for learning. The chairs and furniture will provide flexible seating in my class for the few who need to move more frequently. The learning white boards will enable me to incorporate class assessments or exit tickets individually or through group work in the classroom for math. I will be able to see who is struggling and who is excelling in solving math problems, spelling or explaining a point briefly. The educational resources like the math charts, posters, pocket chart, will enable our class to be a visually rich classroom for the students to have a refresher around the room. This project opportunity will provide our third grade class with a variety of visual supports and anchor charts to expand their learning and help boost student retention.
