My Project

Due to Covid students have had to do most of their learning at their individual desks. This does not allow for students to get the movement they need and can be boring.

Having wobble seats and balance chairs will provide options for students who need more movement to get that movement at their desk and help them concentrate on the lessons.

Having hands on materials like mini whiteboards, markers, scissors, glue, games, and activities in which they can work together with hands on projects will help make the learning more engaging and hold their attention.

Visuals will help support students master their foundational skills, such as a place value mats and charts, by making the learning more concrete. Books that help students work on their handwriting and reading skills will also help build those foundational skills needed.
