Support Ms. Straughn's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
Last year I learned that many of my children worked better when they were sitting in bean bags or stretched out on the floor with their computers and white boards. Sitting at at table or desk made many of them antsy which featured other hand led to discipline issues. We were able to share supplies with the library last year, however this year we will have our own space which is awesome but we are loosing a carpeted area as well as access to bean bags. In seeing the amazing gains my students made last year I feel that creating a similar environment will provide a comfortable learning space for different types of learns. This space along with my support will hopefully give these students the confidence in their math skills that the greatly need to ensure academic success.
