The majority of the resources which I am requesting are flexible seating options for my students. Allowing my students to have flexible seating options in the classroom will affect the social-emotional well being of my students. Being able to move away from the traditional desk and use a chair that wobbles or a portable desk on the floor will increase their focus on their schoolwork. As a result of COVID-19, students are more aware of their need to feel connected to people in a safe and positive way. The lap desks specifically will allow the students to work collaboratively in a non-traditional desk/table setting where they are connected to their peers as they work towards a common goal. The remaining resources which I have requested are materials to increase engagement in science and social studies lessons. I hope to integrate math and language arts skills into the engaging science and social studies concepts to help my students be excited to learn and try new things.
