Each and every day my students demonstrate a love for learning. This spring, we moved from our lively classroom to our homes for safety. But now as we ease back into in-person learning, I recognize the necessary supplies my classroom needs to support my students. Classroom environments are essential in promoting students' academic growth. My students with special needs especially require a space that is clutter-free and minimalistic. Organization as well as a clean, inviting atmosphere allows for all students to feel comfortable and safe. Studies have shown that classrooms that have a neutral color palette and contained supplies benefits all students; specifically students with special needs such as ADHD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, etc. I intend to re-organize our overflowing classroom library with clear bins, as well as store books in large bins above our closets. I also wish to continue to enforce a calming color scheme throughout the room to minimize distractions and sensory overload.
