My students are an eclectic, caring and curious group of 12-13 year olds, who embody the very essence of why I became a teacher, after a successful career in sales and marketing. These students not only keep me on my toes, but they teach me so very much about staying human and being mindful through self-awareness and eagerness to learn. However, more than one-third of my students come from low-income households and that makes it difficult to be able to fund certain supplies for this exceptional group of young learners.
My Project
For this project, I am requesting differentiated seating options, especially for my students who find it difficult to reach their full writing potential while seated in a traditional classroom desk and chair. In addition, the yoga mats and towels also provide for varied seating. However, they are great tools when students need to take a brain break and stretch.
Oftentimes in middle school, young bodies and minds have a hard time remaining still, through no fault of their own.
Therefore, fidget devices are a great resource in my room! Lastly, we all make mistakes, that's why pencils have erasers! Thanks, again!
