Creating a Comfortable Learning Environment

Help me give my students the best materials to achieve their academic goals. As a first year teacher, my students have had limited materials as I do not have much to build off of.

My Project

COVID-19 has impacted my students greatly. They have had to begin their educational careers with distant learning, and as such have also had to struggle with their social emotional skills. As such our classroom has struggled with behaviors that we would expect to see in a classroom. By extending our materials with social-emotional lessons, I believe that my current and future classes will benefit greatly.

My students are learning to not only learn, but play in person and they have had behavioral struggles within the classroom.

The resources that I have requested can help create a comfortable learning environment for them best to thrive. Books, supplies, and social-emotional materials would benefit my superstars to continue on to the second grade.
