I am getting ready to return to work after 10 months Maternity Leave. I am going back into my own classroom which has been stripped bare and I need to set up everything - my class was covered by a number of different supply teachers so there has been no consistency and we are going to be 'starting over' almost as though it is September.
I am getting through all of the planning (I have discussed everything with the new supply teacher who is taking over the parallel class) and am going in at the end of the week so sort out the wall displays.
Children are in sets for English and Maths so move between the two classes. The seem to bring everything but the kitchen sink to lessons - although there seemed to be a number of children still turning up without basic equipment (pens, pencils etc) when I went in to meet the class - Year 5.
I can find very little in the way of resources so will be drawing up quite a wishlist but I am wondering what you consider to be the essential items to have available for the children - either on or close by their desks?
