As you are shopping the Black Friday deals? Consistently giving back and adopting a classroom! Every year the average teacher spends over $800 of his or her own money to buy classroom needs. Anything you could donate, would be used to benefit my students. Click on the list to see the deals! It’s the perfect time to bless some deserving little ones!
My ideas for wish list items
It would be great to expand our hands on center/phonics games. Hands on games and learning with peers helps students learn while being engaged and having fun.
Stickers are a big hit and motivation for student behavior or even learning.
I think more playground options could cut down on some of the behaviors by giving students more constructive options. We also offer teacher led activities such as different types of races (hop like a frog, gallop, etc.), duck duck goose, parachute games, etc.
The speaker could help us to play music for transitions and make it easier to access. Music really helps to keep behaviors at bay while transitioning and motivates students. We could also play active songs on the playground where students have more room to move.
The carpet dots and floor dots will help to spread the students out and assign them their own spots that will be more conducive to learning. You will see two types. They are different from each other. One is for carpet and the other for flooring which will help with personal space and the temptation to push.
The prize bucket is dwindling and it really motivates student behavior when paired with Bloomz points.
Of course, it would be nice to have a color printer for things that absolutely need color. We don’t have access to any color printers at all.
Stringing bead letters to make sight words could help with fine motor skills.
The recorder buttons will allow me to record instructions for centers so that they have the instructions easily accessible and can play them over if needed! This will save my voice (and maybe some of my sanity 😂.)
