The students in my classroom have been affected by the pandemic in numerous ways. Many of them have emotional needs that have worsened because of the pandemic. Many have had to isolate themselves from loved ones or have even lost family members. I do not want emotional needs to get in the way of their learning. That is why I would like to use the DonorsChoose money to promote social-emotional learning in my classroom as well as get flexible seating. I want to purchase books that promote SEL. These books can be used for reading aloud as well as independent reading. I want books on emotions, character education, and mindfulness. The topics in these books can help a student for a lifetime. Instead of just reading stories, they would be gaining coping skills that can help them become more independent in times of emotional distress. Flexible seating helps with social-emotional learning because sitting rigidly in a classroom can at times negatively affect a child. I have several students who can not sit still. I do not want to constantly be getting on to them but want to help them achieve their learning goals. I want to purchase several options of flexible seating for my classroom. I am hoping to get fidget chair bands, big comfy floor pillows, balance balls, and floor cushions. Flexible seating can allow students to easily move their seats for group work. Overall, I wish to help my students grow as healthy human beings. With all of these materials, I can meet them where they are at while harnessing their creativity and energy in the classroom. Covid-19 has taken things from my students emotionally and mentally and I wish to help bridge those gaps in any way I can.
