Help Me Provide a Proper and Engaging Distance Learning Environment!

Help me give my students lap desks and headphones. This will enable students to have a proper and quiet learning environment. The Teachers Pay Teachers card and whiteboards will be used to engage students with lessons and activities.

My Students

I have 25 energetic, excited, and very tech-savvy first and second graders in my distance learning classroom. The moment they enter class, they are eager to learn and connect with their classmates. The materials will assist my students so they may be successful throughout their time of distance learning.

The students can use these new tools to interact with their lessons in a way that they have not been able to since being in the classroom.

Students will be able to engage in the lessons in a more profound way. It will also allow me to connect the students to the lessons in a way that is difficult to do through distance learning.

My students will be thrilled to receive these materials that will help them be successful, engaged digital learners.

My Project

Many of my students lack the proper space that will help them while they are distance learning. The lap desk will assist the student by providing a safe platform for their computer, no matter their physical location. The headphones will enable my students to hear the lessons and block out other sounds from their environment.

All items have been selected to assist in providing students with a proper environment and to increase engagement with new activities.

My students will utilize the whiteboard to connect with lessons; this will increase their understanding. The Teachers Pay Teachers card will be used to buy worksheets based on students' areas of need and in distance learning activities to engage students.
