I am a first year teacher starting mid-year and I do not have many of the basic school supplies that many teachers have starting out in their classroom. I currently teach at a Title I school in the inner city. I love how diverse my students are and want to give them materials they can work with that are developmentally appropriate for their age. A lot of parents do not have the means to buy children hands-on games, experiences, or fun seating. Children, especially kindergartners, need to have a fun and engaging environment to help them get excited to learn.
Flexible seating will be a great way for children to be comfortable in the classroom which helps them stay calm, focused, and productive.
The sensory table would be a great way for children to learn through exploration, have sensory experiences (which is needed at this age) and help create a fun way to develop their small motor skills while cooperating and sharing with their peers.
