As a teacher who is a creative thinker, I want to instill that creativeness in my scholars. Every morning, I greet each kiddo with "our class handshake" that they created and voted on, and let them know they are valued and respected in my haven.
There are 498 students in K-5 at our growing elementary school.
Class sizes are large and continue to increase with the increasing influx of students in our district. There are 25 kids in my class. My students are from various ethnicities, backgrounds, and cultures.
As a professional I want to continue my education and learn to impact my students and set them up for success.
My Project
The flexible seating I am requesting are options my scholars would love to have in our classrooms. They would use the table and foam cubes while writing, editing peer's papers or completing science experiments. Who doesn't love to be comfortable while writing, especially when they are becoming authors of their own novels? The table will be a focus for those who prefer to sit on the floor while completing everyday tasks, but still have a place to write and complete experiments. Inflatable seating chairs would be used during reading time, when my scholars are engrossed in their leveled readers or the sequel to Harry Potter or Auggie, the kid of kindness in Wonder. These seats would be the seat of choice during small group rotations or during independent work. All in all, my kiddos would have the choice and flexible options to choose what seat is most comfortable and relaxing for their education. With the everyday stress and anxiety my kids endure, my classroom is their haven and second home!
By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve students' academic achievement, you will ultimately help them to have a safe haven as school is my scholars second home.
Creating this environment eases student anxiety and promotes their social and emotional well being.
