I teach in a military town, and about 70% of the students in my school are from families serving the country. My school is on an island off the coast of Washington in a town with a population around 23,000.
I want to make my classroom a place where students are comfortable so they can get everything they need to learn.
Many of the students in my classroom have only been there 1-2 years, and many of them know they will be moving in the next 3-5 years. The fact that many of my students move around so much definitely affects the friendships and confidence they have in the classroom. I want to make sure all my students feel comfortable and represented in my classroom.
My Project
These materials will be added to my students' individual building bags that I was able to create with materials from a previous DonorsChoose project. They will give my students even more opportunities to learn with STEM materials. The COVID safe building bags are proving to be excellent ways for my students to start each school day!
Getting to start the day with exploration and imagination is helping to create the welcoming and educational environment that I want my classroom to be.
My students are loving their COVID safe building bags and I would love to give them even more materials to build with. It is great to watch my students imagine, plan and explore with the materials they have now! I hope I get to see even creative building happening with these materials.
