This is my first year at this school. My classroom is a blank slate not conducive to learning. First grade is a year where kids truly become readers and writers! As a teacher, it is important to make reading and writing fun so kids will continue to maintain their enthusiasm for learning! With only straight-back chairs at desks and the hard floor as seating, my students often avoid tasks that require a lot of sitting still, like independent reading and writing practice. With your help, I can transform our reading corner into our room's most inviting spot by providing a comfy seating option! We are requesting beanbag seats and wobble chairs. I can also turn our writing center into a spot that encourages imagination while kids can safely wiggle while they write. Soon we'll need a waiting list for the independent reading and writing centers!
