The seating options and additional materials which I am requesting are vital in setting up a classroom that will provide the highest level of learning, compatibility, and flexibility for my students. In hopes that this project is fully funded, I already know the exact use for each item! The tables and stability balls will be utilized solely by my students each year. They will assist in providing comfort for the students in a means that is more conducive for effective learning. The lap trays will provide a work station for students choosing to sit on the floor. Additionally, the area rug will provide a designated area for all students to join together for comfort during whole class instruction and learning. What is most important is that every child gets what he or she needs to succeed, as opposed to everyone getting the same thing. I am a firm believer in keeping the focus on what's most important: the students. If student motivation and higher engagement is truly the desired end game, then we as teachers must adapt right along with our students in our classrooms.
