My Students

My students are always buzzing with energy. They love to move, chat, participate in hands-on projects, and grow their brains. When they walk into the room, it immediately comes alive with their fun personalities. You would never guess the number of challenges many of them face each day.

As a teacher at a school that services many low to moderate socioeconomic families, it is common for students to come hungry, tired, worried, and without all the supplies they need.

Nonetheless, this never seems to affect their desire to learn and their excitement for school.

I strive to give my students an environment that they are free to explore their wonders, show their creativity, and above all, feel safe. I hope they see school as a place where they can challenge themselves, discover their passion, and feel loved.

My Project

Our classroom needs new tables to better optimize our learning space. Our classroom loves flexible seating! Currently, our flexible seating options (wobble stools, ottomans, yoga balls, bouncy chairs) are unable to be pushed in under our tables. This makes our chairs a safety hazard and an eye sore. Not only do we need new tables because of our student friendly seats, but we need less tables altogether. These tables are much bigger than the ones we currently have (each student has their individual table) so we can reduce the amount of tables needed in our classroom from 24 to about 6!

As the only teacher who teaches science in my grade level, these tables are the perfect size for lab stations because we are in groups of 4!

These tables are square so each student has the same amount of work space, and they are small enough to work together easily.

Right now, our classroom is too crowded with tables and large furniture which can be overwhelming at times. Fewer tables would help open up our classroom and make it easier for students to work around the room! I have ever intention of requesting a total of 6 tables, one or two at a time!
