This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I teach an amazing group of five- and six-year-olds who show their enthusiasm for learning and school daily. My students are very lucky because they get to share their days and classroom with classmates of different races, cultures, religions, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
My students learn best through doing and creating, and I strive to give them the environment that best meets their needs.
They deserve the best start to their education and the foundation to help them succeed. They are eager to learn with all the tools I give them.
My Project
Sitting at a table with a chair is not always the best way for students to do their work. Even sitting criss cross on the carpet can be a challenge. Many students need to move around in order for their brains to focus (adults too!). Flexible seating has helped students in my classroom for years and now I need to update some of the items and bring in new ones.
I imagine students using wobble cushions while sitting on the carpet for our lessons, sitting in chairs, and sitting on the floor doing their work.
Lap trays are a great item and let students have all their supplies at the ready. Clipboards can be used all day for nearly all activities.
Please help my students get the items they need to make the start of their formal education as successful as possible.
