We are a first grade class from a Title I school. My children often lack the experiences outside of their immediate neighborhood due to financial constraints. We may be a Title I, low income school, but my students are energetic and eager to learn!
Most all of our students come from minority families.
Our school has many children that are refugees from Syria. The families of my children struggle with fulfilling the basic needs of living and extras are a luxury.
My Project
I have a class of 15, six and seven year old kiddos. They have had a rough year. We have finally got back in our classroom, but we must remain socially distanced, 6 feet apart, in the classroom as well as on the playground. I have requested some lap desks for the students who want to sit on the floor rather than sit in the chair, allowing for some freedom of movement. I have also requested a document camera because the students that sit far in the back of the class cannot see when I demonstrate a skill, not to mention the fact that when I read they cannot see the text that I am displaying. They are not allowed to share any equipment on the playground or be any closer than 6 ft of each other when we are outside. These things that I have chosen will allow the children to work, play and see all that is happening in the classroom without fear of spreading the virus. I am asking for these items to allow all children to participate in class and have freedom of movement and choice.
