We do not have a space for meeting as a small group or individualized instruction. Currently we plop down on the ground, where we have all been walking, to conduct small groups. My students would love to have a table and chairs with an actual writing surface and play surface for small group time.
My group of 25 students are an energetic and a full of life group.
They are eager to come and participate in small group time with the teacher. During this time, we can play games and focus on individualized instruction. Our space is very limited and often times when we find a place on the floor it impacts the other students' movements in the classroom.
My Project
Having an area with a table and chairs will allow for more focused instruction and comfort. This is an important aspect for our classroom learning environment. We are currently using the floor, but it hurts our backs and our bottoms. Additionally, doing any type of writing assignment is hard because we don't have a space or hard surface to write. We often find ourselves hunched over to use the floor as a writing surface. I am requesting this table and chairs to improve our small group and individual instruction time. It is small enough that it doesn't take away vital classroom walking space, but yet big enough to gather a small group around.
Our classroom is home away from home for my students.
My hope is to create a classroom environment that spurs their hopes and dreams into action. My desire is that this reading area be one where my students' sense of purpose and their desires hone their skills as readers and life long learners.
