First grade has changed a lot over the years. The students are expected to achieve more than ever before. How can they do this without being provided the materials to do it?
My students are in a high poverty public school that is over 70% low income.
This is something that already puts them at a disadvantage. They are not able to get extra materials at home to continue learning what has been introduced at school. For this reason, I want to be able to expose them to as many learning opportunities as possible. It is in my classroom where they get to take risks and open their minds to new learning experiences. I need your help to give them all of these experiences.
My students have sixty minutes of math daily. During workshop time, many of the students are at desks completing their work. My students also have sixty minutes of reading daily. During this time they are reading, working with words, and doing writing responses about their reading. Many of them are at desks doing this work. They also have fifty minutes of writing daily. Again, during this time the students are working at their desks. In first grade, there are a lot of academic expectations. It has become difficult for many students to focus the whole time during these academic times.
My Project
These twenty-eight Yes4All Stability Discs will allow my students to "get their wiggles out" while continuing their work at their desks and at my small group meeting table.
These stability discs will especially be great for my students with ADD and ADHD.
However, they will greatly benefit EVERYONE in the class. Please help me to get these items for my students' success!
