Our once small town is growing exponentially and so are the class sizes. It is difficult to maintain a safe social distance in a classroom with a large number of students. In my classroom, the students sit at tables instead of desks. The privacy desk shields will provide protection from possibly spreading germs to neighboring students. It will also provide privacy for students and reduce the number of 'wandering' eyes when taking tests in close, cramped quarters. My students have been through a lot in the last couple of years, and deserve a welcoming learning environment. I can provide this by decorating with bright posters that can be personalized like the birthday poster. I love seeing their faces light up when I surprise them just by saying, "Happy birthday!" It builds better relationships when teachers take the time to add little personal touches to their classes. Our Spanish department does not have enough whiteboards for every teacher. I have borrowed some from other teachers in the past, and have noticed a dramatic increase in the engagement of my students. I am able to easily and quickly assess how well they are understanding the lesson by having them translate words or write simple "sí" or "no" answers to questions that I ask in Spanish. I would love to have access to enough whiteboards so that I can use them more often. In the unfortunate event that our school has to go virtual, students will be able to read ¿Qué tal? magazine digitally. These entertaining magazines will keep students' attention if they are learning at home. They will still be able to read in the target language while learning about current cultural topics in Spanish-speaking countries.
