Our 5th grade team recognized the learning and social/emotional deficits of our students. In the areas of reading comprehension and vocabulary, our students need access to high quality literature to improve. They also need a learning environment that is comfortable, personalized, and increases their ability to stay focused on their learning. We also know that students need a place to feel safe and that has resources available to help them stay calm and refocus when necessary. Our current seating is completely inadequate. Students are not comfortable, as the desks do not fit them. The CLASS grant would allow us to transform our classrooms with multiple flexible seating options to meet student needs. By doing this, we would be able to create a more pleasant environment. Students who are comfortable are more likely to be more engaged learners, which should lead to greater academic achievement. We would also use CLASS grant funding to supplement our current calming areas which will allow students to have other resources to meet their social/emotional needs.
