My Students

I am a new teacher that feels like I need a million and one things for my classroom. However, if I sit back and think of the class I have currently, these kids need a safe place that encourages learning through creative measures. I have a class with so many children that cannot focus but when I get creative, I have their attention.

They are all feeling the effects of COVID-19 and have a spectrum of feelings and reactions from it.

I have multiple students so far behind in their education because it was unsafe for them to attend school during the peek of COVID-19. I also have students that suffer from anxiety as a direct result of COVID-19.

My classroom is special because it has individualized learning all year long. I have several students learning how to sew because that is what interests them. I have students that already know they want to program computers. My students are so very creative despite trying to navigate COVID-19. I am so lucky to be their teacher and I desperately want to give them the classroom they deserve.

My Project

It is no secret that children are feeling the impact of COVID-19 at home and also at school. As a result, a majority of my students struggle with anxiety and I take it upon myself to ensure that school is a place where they are safe. My class would benefit from balance balls to get some of their wiggles out and also soothe them when they are feeling overwhelmed. I have multiple kids in mind that would be able to focus more with the use of balance balls.

Unfortunately, I have students that have had educational hits due to COVID-19 as well.

They were homeschooled and need so much extra support. I would like the whiteboard tables as a creative way to practice their letters and spelling. I would use the magnets to encourage what handwriting should look like and also have them practice their spelling. I also need another bookshelf so that I can put individualized books in there for my students that need more help. I teach so many individualized lessons that my class would benefit from a second whiteboard. I could have my third graders using one of the whiteboards to assist their peers.

I have a creative bunch of kids in my room. Currently, I have easy stich by hand projects that the kids love. However, I know they could use a challenge. Also, my kids would LOVE Botley the Coding Robot. We have Dash Robots at the school but they only use them in our Comp-sci class once a year. It is such an engaging and unique lesson that all of my children enjoy.

As a new teacher teaching an anxious, yet creative generation, my class would benefit from balance balls, whiteboard tables, two sewing machines, and some coding robots.
