My Students

Covid-19 has allowed my students to learn virtually for over an entire school year. Transitioning back to in-person learning could possibly be a challenge. One of the main challenges would be the amount of spacing in each classroom in regards to social distancing. In previous years, my students enjoyed having the option of alternative seating. They also enjoy lessons that are hands-on. With funding this project, I can enhance my classroom to provide the best for my students.

These students are our FUTURE.

The students need a super hero to help guide them to their destiny. I want to be that superhero to my students by being able to teach to my best ability. I am using a host of resources to provide comfortability to my students and help aide their education.

My Project

With the upcoming school year coming, I immediately noticed the large amount of students in each of my classes. With keeping Covid-19 in mind, I want my students to be safe and feel safe in my classroom.

I am asking for funding, in order to ensure the best learning environment for my students.

For starters, I am asking for seat sacks for additional storage. With seat sacks, I am able to eliminate many of the larger storage shelves that I would normally carry the commonly used textbooks. As well as the presentation stand allowing me to remove the larger one I have. With making additional space in the classroom, I can give students more space apart from one another for safety.

The bouncy chair bands are for my more fidgety students to help them remain on task. The other additional materials I have requested are math manipulatives for my students to use during instructional time. With this year being the the first coming off of an entire year of virtual school, my students deserve comfortability. With your help, my future leaders can have a fun, safe and blessed year!!
