My Project
What I love most about my students is their resilience, creativity, and eagerness to learn, even when faced with challenges. They come from diverse backgrounds and have a wide range of learning styles and needs. Many of them find it hard to stay focused in traditional metal desks for long periods, especially when they’re expected to sit still for hours.
To help support their focus, comfort, and learning, I’m requesting bean bag chairs, floor seats, and ergonomic bounce ball chairs.
These flexible seating options will give students a choice in how they learn best, whether they need to move a little, sit lower to the ground, or find a cozy spot to read and write. I plan to implement a sign-up system so all students get equal access to the seats.
We also go through a lot of pencils, especially because we do frequent writing and annotating during lessons. Having a consistent supply will help students stay engaged without the stress of not having the tools they need.
To keep our classroom clean and safe, I’m also requesting disinfectant wipes. We share materials and workspaces throughout the day, and it’s important to maintain a healthy environment.
Lastly, I’d love to brighten up our older classroom with a colorful rug. A rug can turn a dull space into a warm and welcoming environment that invites students to sit together for
