As a teacher of a low-income, high poverty school my students are faced with daily challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am looking to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences. My students are clever, inquisitive, and creative learners.
They like to receive positive attention and praise all while achieving new milestones they overcome in the classroom.
From the minute the children walk in the door, I create a warm, welcoming environment where we can focus on the child’s potential and growth. Although I may not be able to control their home lives, I can certainly create a positive experience during the school day. By doing this, I am hoping to inspire these young learners to continue on a path of academic success for one’s future.
My Project
Little learners need a space where they can go to in a classroom when they are feeling overwhelmed, angry, or just new to relax. I want to give my students the opportunity to have this space for them to feel a sense of ease throughout the day.
The Flex Space Lounge Learn Chair would create this warm welcoming space where my students can sit to relax.
The Calming Cuddle Ball is a soft ball the children can cuddle with when they are feeling sad or upset. This will help the children learn to deal with their feelings. The materials will help the children in a variety of ways.
In conclusion, by donating to this project you will be helping me show the children while teaching the children to deal with their emotions and feelings in a calm way.
