The furniture and materials that have been requested will help my students have an adequate and appropriate work space that will cater to the various learning modalities. It will also provide them with the tools that they need to support the Michigan Ten Essential Instructional Practices for Early Literacy, which is a part of a mandated level of instructional care for all students, no mater the school district. Motivation and student engagement is number one on this early literacy task force, and the furniture and materials requested will support these students be motivated to read. Having these early literacy tools will keep them engaged and provide them with opportunities that have never been afforded to them in the past. Currently, we do not have furniture, outside of their desks. This project, if funded, would greatly assist me in bringing this classroom to life, as it pertains to creating a reading center and work space to learn.
