Lounging, Loving, Learning

My students need pillows and a storage bench to create a place where they can not only have access to their personal manipulatives but also a place where they can sit and read silently by themselves.

My Students

I have a class full of bright, caring, and inquisitive students that enjoy learning many different ways. I want my students to be independent learners by the end of the year and ready for Second grade. One of my favorite quotes is "MISTAKES ARE PROOF YOU ARE TRYING"

My students are from a variety of different households.

From both parents to single parents to no parents at all, and living with grandparents. My school sits up on a hill in a little community and is one of the most caring and outgoing schools I have ever worked at. The staff helps with so many different community projects to bring smiles to our students faces.

My Project

The items I am requesting are items that will give my students the opportunity to work independently on their own when given an assignment. They will have access to the items and can get them at their leisure. Or just go over for some alone time on the bench when reading alone or with their buddy reader from Fourth grade.

My class was just blessed with some amazing math manipulative's that will help them with a variety of learning styles.

Due to the layout of my classroom we are limited with storage near the floor. By receiving the storage bench and pillows, not only will my students have easy access to the manipulative's themselves when needed, but they will have an inviting space to sit while silent reading or playing on their Ipad. So killing two birds with one stone sort of speaking. We will love the space!
