My students come to our math class to learn with incredible energy, attitude, perseverance, and that makes teaching 7th-grade math so incredibly rewarding.
We have strong and determined students that just need to be provided with quality resources in math to be able to successfully meet the 7th-grade math learning targets.
We have a diverse student population with 72% of the students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These students have many obstacles such as language barriers, lack of supplies and support at home, so the time in school is crucial to provide these students with the necessary, quality resources.
My Project
My students are amazing. Sometimes they come to school with a lot on their mind. We have created a "calming space" in our classroom for students to take the opportunity to go to when they just need a break from class and peer interaction.
It is important to make our calm space as comfortable and welcoming as possible so that our students will utilize it when needed and this amazing chair would do just the trick!
I believe this chair would help the calm space seem more inviting so students would think of our calm space in a positive light. We want to provide our students with as many resources as possible to balance their emotions and this chair would absolutely benefit our students when they are in need of a separate space.
