My Students

My fifth grade students want to learn. They come from unique backgrounds. My room consists of students with special needs, students from low income families, students from rural areas, and some who have never visited a major city even though we are located halfway between Madison and Milwaukee. The majority of my class is economically disadvantaged.

Despite all their challenges, my students are a great group of children that really want to excel.

Each student has set goals for where they want to be academically later this year. They have also chosen strategies to help them reach their goal. Now we want to support and extend their opportunities in new directions.

My Project

Students function better when given choice. I try to regularly give them choices as to ways they can learn material and how they can share their learning.

Providing different seating options is another choice that empowers students.

Students appreciate being able to make decisions, and providing a variety of seat option is one simple way I can encourage them to make good choices. This easy strategy is one we refer back to time and again in the classroom. Will this choice help you learn? What is the best choice for you to make right now so you can better yourself? By having additional options, it allows students to analyze their choices and decide what is best alternative for them.
