We are a small school, in a one-school, school district with fewer resources available to us than a school in a larger school district.
Our school is located adjacent to the United States Coast Guard Training Center and surrounded by dairy farms and ranches.
There are about 160 students enrolled at our school with 65% of the students coming from the Coast Guard families and the remaining students coming from the surrounding farms and ranches. The students from the surrounding farms and ranches are mostly English language learners.
As Kindergarteners, many of my 22 kiddos are new to school and deserve a comfortable, fun learning environment filled with materials that encourage their young minds to create and explore, to ultimately form a love for school.
My Project
We will a more comfortable climate in our classroom. Our students will feel more welcome to explore and have a more homier feeling being at school, away from parents. We have all tile flooring so there are very spots for students to sit down in a comfortable spot and read or play.
The first and foremost is to give all students a chance to play and read without sensory overload.
They can spread out and read with partners without the other distractions of being squished into just one carpet area. This will change our classroom environment to a more welcoming place to be.
