Description

To provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive learning environment for young students during circle time, reading time and share time in conjunction with the District adopted Daily 5/CAFE and Daily 3 Math routines. Currently, our K-3 classroom has no soft space to accommodate a safe and comfortable learning environment.

Benefits of Program

Donner Trail would like to purchase fire-retardant floor seating (seats, pillows and small carpets) for a comfortable space for kids to read independently in the classroom (as recommended by the Daily 5/CAFE authorities), to participate in classroom sharing that promotes speaking and listening, and to listen to and reflect on classroom read alouds/circle time.

Success of Program

Students will be able to sit quietly, comfortably and calmly for safe and effective learning.

Implementation

Students will immediately use soft space for circle time, sharing time, Daily 5/CAFE and Daily 3 Math blocks.
