TOPIC 7: Resources – Tools, Equipment &
Materials
-
-
• Much like adults, kindergartners are better able to do their best work when they have high quality materials at hand.
• That does not mean everything has to be new but materials must be well cared for and in good working order.
• When purchasing new supplies, choose those of high quality. Specify the brands you trust when communicating supply needs to parents or ask experienced colleagues for their recommendations.
-
•Try a community supplies approach in which each parent donates one category of supplies to the class (one parent supplies the pencils,
another some markers, and so forth).
• This approach creates a sense of fairness and equity in the classroom: all the children will have what they need and can share
equally (a sense of shared ownership).
•This also gives children the opportunity to try out different kinds of supplies and figure out what works best for them.
- Include technology-based resources

• Do occasional “spot checks” to make sure children are caring for materials correctly
and have put supplies back in the right place.
i) Yearlong charts
• You may want to have certain displays up all year long, such as class rules,a class calendar and birthday graph and child-made
alphabet and number charts.
