I have a unique and diverse class of students. I teach Mathematics and Social Studies to two sections of 1st grade children. Many of the students come from low income families. There are things we need that the school does not supply. We need a few individual desks for the students that do not do well in the group setting.
I want my students to share in the same benefits of the more affluent districts.
I want them to have the space they need to allow better concentration so they can learn. They want to learn!
My Project
Flexible seating would greatly enhance our 1st grade classroom. The children currently sit at tables and they crave a quiet atmosphere in which they can work. The individual desks would allow the students to move away from others invading their space. An easel would better permit me to deliver quality lessons.
I want the children to look forward to walking into their classroom.
I want to provide them with a happy but calm room. With individual desks they can retreat to a quieter place if needed. Sometimes our room is loud and boisterous especially when we are doing our routines. The desks would allow a calming space for those that prefer to work alone. Children are not one size fits all. In our classroom, some children cannot concentrate in a group setting and prefer individual space.
