Help Create a 7th Grade Math Classroom
Donation protected
Help me give my students an inviting and engaging math classroom by providing basic materials for class along with supporting math posters and decorations.
My Project
I'm a first year teacher with almost no decorations or supplies. My students have had an empty classroom with a long term substitute since the beginning of the year, who is amazing, but there is literally almost nothing in the class except for their math books. This project is about creating a classroom the students are excited to come to and engage in math content. The materials will be used to create a "Change your Mindset" bulletin board, a rotating "Math content" section bulletin board, and a student choice bulletin board. Black chalk paper will be used to cover my door and used as an inspirational and joke of the week location. I have chalk markers that can also be used to decorate or write birthday messages, special celebrations/achievements, etc.
Help me acquire the things I need to create an inviting classroom that students want to come to everyday!
On my list of materials i have ruler, pencils, erasers, stickers, colored pencils, whiteboard sticky paper and black chalkboard paper, bulletin board coverings, letter punch outs, and numerous math posters and supporting material that can be hung around the room. Besides the supplies, materials will be used to decorate the class and the supplies will allow more hands on activities and of course, there are a few fun items to use as positive reinforcements! Math isn't about just doing worksheets and in middle school, students need more real world application and relevancy. Having the tools in class will allow more chances for me to create these opportunities for learning and connections.
My Students
My classroom is full of diverse, energetic, and opinionated middle school students! They are funny, caring, quirky, rebellious, sweet, challenging, courageous, scared, and always changing. They are middle school students trying to navigate higher expectations of growing up and trying to develop the coping skills needed to tackle the challenges of life. Many of these students have faced more challenges, trials and tribulations at such a young age that I will likely never have to endure in a lifetime. These students need a classroom that invites them in with welcoming arms and an inviting atmosphere that encourages a growth mindset and a desire for lifelong learning.
These quirky, challenging and courageous middle schoolers are what make me want to come to work every day!
