Help me give my students items for our classroom that provide choice in their seating and essential daily items that provide a quality classroom environment.
Students in this first-grade class all live in rural Iowa and have limited access to experiences. Many are from low-income families and they struggle to meet daily needs. At school, students love to have hands-on experiences and materials they can use. The students are more engaged when they can see and touch what they are learning.
Students’ needs are always a top priority in my class.
Students’ basic needs at home can be a challenge for many but it is my job, as their teacher, to do my best to always provide them with the best environment every day!
My Project
My classroom currently has 4 wobble stools. These are always the first seats to be chosen. By having two more wobble stools, they will provide more students with the opportunity to utilize these during the school day.
My goal as a teacher is to provide students with a classroom that is a welcoming, quality environment .In order to do this, there are many essentials tools that are needed daily.
First, a step stool will be a huge help when the students use our Smartboard. This is hung on a wall and hard for 1st graders to reach. Students currently are using a chair but this is often too big for the space we have. A fold-up step stool will be ideal for the students.
To also utilize the Smartboard in our classroom, we often use sound to enhance the learning. This school year, part of our speakers that help us to hear broke and it makes it difficult to hear anything from the Smartboard. A speaker will be essential in helping students have a quality classroom environment.
