Our teachers are requesting these items to help them present classroom information in the most effective way possible. Our students are most productive when they are thoroughly engaged in the curriculum and can visually see and experience the lesson in class from using the post it easel paper. Our students will benefit from these supplies by being more engaged in the lesson and participating in the learning process. The hands-on approach has proven to hold their attention so they are fully focused and absorbing as much information as they can. We also want to encourage a safe and healthy learning environment as we navigate through the constantly changing COVID 19 guidelines. I have noticed that our students feel safer and more at ease when they can see that we are as invested in their well-being as they are. The desk pad calendars are essential to keep lessons on track and organize the daily activities for the students to promote successful learning.
