A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
I am in my first year of teaching, and I have a classroom of 19 creative, humorous, diverse students. I teach in English, but speak Spanish, which has helped me connect with my 4 ELL students who speak Spanish at home. I have students with varying learning, language and social emotional needs, and I am constantly impressed by the positivity, humor and motivation to learn new things. In our classroom, we love writing, science, frogs and monkeys.
Our most important class values are to choose kindness and do our best work.
My Project
After 2 years of learning impacted by COVID-19, my students' vocabulary skills, comprehension skills, writing skills and spelling skills are in need of a little extra TLC. I want them to be able to be more independent with looking up words for spelling and comprehension reasons as well as for vocabulary enrichment, especially when it comes to their writing. However, they lack the in-classroom resources. That is why I am seeking to build a classroom set of thesauruses and dictionaries.
I have students who would greatly benefit from flexible seating options.
Some of my students struggle with anxiety and/or ADHD, and others simply have a hard time sitting still and focusing for a long time. I want them to have access to wiggle chairs to accommodate their need for movement.
Finally, I want my students to have access to larger classroom maps.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
