My students walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. I ask them, "Who is the best third grade class in the whole world?" and they reply, "We are!" I want them to know I believe in them and they can do anything.
I teach at a low-income/high poverty school district where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day.
My Project
Having stools for our kidney table in our classroom will benefit my students' lives by giving them the opportunity to collaborate and learn with one another during small group projects and tasks. With the option of a spot for the teacher (or star learner!) on the other side, it will be easy for me to monitor their learning, help my students engage in discussion, encourage their reading skills, and help correct any misconceptions of their work.
These stools are necessary to ensure a collaborative and engaging learning environment.
In order to help my students, I work with them in small groups daily. This is how they get individualized and differentiated instruction and their learning can flourish!
