Help me give my students a lapdesk, some fidget toys and seating to help them focus.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bailey's classroom raised $571
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I teach students in grade 7 mathematics. Many of my students deal with the challenges of being part of a low-income household and are unable to access the tools that they need to help them succeed. Another challenge that they face is a language barrier: most of them come from non-English speaking households.
Even with these challenges, my students are enthusiastic, determined, and excited to learn!
They come into my classroom every day, prepared, and ready to get to work. They are inquisitive and want to know the whys behind every calculation and the purposes. They love to be able to apply concepts were learning to real-world scenarios. They are excited when something finally clicks!
My ELL students are working towards developing fluency within the English language and growing each and every day, learning new math vocabulary words. They even love being able to decipher new words in our math storybooks and creating their own math problems!
They are fearless when it comes to technology and as children of the 21st century, they need to be prepared to use a variety of tools to engage their world.
My Project
My classroom has a variety of learners from all backgrounds. Occasionally, some students need a quiet fidget to help them focus on tasks.
Students with Autism or ADHD benefit the most from having something tactile to help them focus.
Everything included in this project will be used by students in the classroom. From the flexible seating options to the fidgets to help our students get work done and be productive. The flexible seating helps to provide a comfortable place to sit in the classroom while still have a table top surface to work on.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
