I teach a fourth-grade class. My class economic background is low income which qualifies them for free and reduced lunch. Their economic status does not define their learning abilities. My Scholars enjoy learning new skills and show up to school daily whether virtual or in-person willing to accept the challenge for the day. My scholars faced many challenges last school year with a lack of supplies, so, as a teacher, I met parents at the library quarterly to give scholars what they needed to help them be successful in their learning process.
"This school year, my Scholars want to start the academic year off strong and ready to learn".
This year my scholars will have a fresh start academically. They will have the opportunity to review previous skills and embark upon the opportunity to be successful with learning new skills. My scholars' stress level of learning will be curved this year because they will have the tools needed for daily learning to take place.
My Project
All scholars want and deserve to learn, no matter their academic or social abilities. This year I will have several high-risk learning scholars in my classroom that require movement. I want them to learn in a comfortable environment, have that flexibility, be safe and move about the classroom safely at the same time. Flexible seating will help my high-risk scholars remain engaged during learning time with note-taking, group activities, one-on-one instruction, and as well as independent learning. Flexible seating will give my Scholars a sense of ownership of their learning within their personal environment. Having sanitizer wipes will help all Scholars keep their personal areas clean and have a safe learning environment at the same time. My high risk Scholars will be able to transition from one class environment to the other using the rolling cart to keep learning materials organized and ensure that all learning supplies are present during learning time.
