Help me give my students a calming classroom with light covers to help dim down the fluorescent lighting and beanbags, fidgets, and kick bands to help students feel comfortable.
I love that my school has a very diverse population within our community!
Middle school is a time when a great number of Elementary schools feed into middle schools; thus combining students from many different walks of life! Just as they are diverse, so is their prior knowledge and learning styles. I wish to give all of my students the same opportunity as one another!
Research shows that students need books that are at their reading level and that interest them. If students just read for a minimum of 10 minutes silently outside of school, the growth in their reading abilities, vocabulary and comprehension would have profound growth!
Help me help my students.
I believe that students pay more attention, "absorb" and learn, and feel more themselves when they are comfortable. By helping students accomplish this I also use flexible seating. Wouldn’t you be more productive if you could choose your seat and be comfortable?
My Project
The items I am seeking funding for will help all students feel more calm in the classroom. Students that feel comfortable are more likely to engage in discussion, activities, reading, and listening. Help me bring these items into my classroom so that more students can experience what I wish to show them! My students come from ALL walks of life, sometimes making it hard to work or discuss things with their peers. If all students are given the opportunity to feel like they belong, are comfortable, and feel equal they will get to know and share with others they didn't know prior to middle school!
