My Project

My students are unique in what they have been through these last 3 years. As adults, we experienced one side of COVID-19 but the effects on children are undeniable and so much different. A lot of people do not take into account what it must have been like for children to experience and live through a global pandemic. Students are behind not only academically but socially as well. I can see the effects of distance learning daily in my classroom. The items I am requesting will help me try to close this exponential gap that was created these past 3 years. With a horseshoe table I will be able to pull small groups of kids at a time and really work with them and give them the 1 on 1 time they need to develop their skills. With the bar stools we will finally have the seating available for a tall table I acquired. We have it but cannot utilize it because we don’t have any seats tall enough for it. I am trying to make my room a safe and inviting classroom where everyone feels welcome and safe. I know several students I have currently have developed anxiety disorders because of the pandemic. I want to make sure they are heard and feel comfortable to learn and grow in my classroom not just as students but as people too. Giving them different seating options gives them the ability to choose where they feel comfortable to learn.
