The books selected will help diversify my classroom library and help students better identify themselves within the stories. I also am requesting supplies such as games, noise cancelling headphones, and fidget toys to help students take brain breaks when they are overwhelmed and energetic students or those with accommodations to lengthen their attention spans. The last items requested items include a phone charger station and packs of treats. The charger will help encourage students to stay off their devices when they are motivated by the fact that it’s being charged while not being used. Candy has also helped my students participate more fully in review games within class. Both of these items will help eliminate distractions and encourage participation.
These supplies will help students feel more included as they come back to in-person school, as well as maintain their focus and lessen stress. COVID-19 has resulted in my students getting overwhelmed and feeling alone. I want to make sure my classroom is as inviting and accommodating as it can be.
