My Students

I am the lucky teacher of 23 amazing, smart, fun, energetic, artistic, creative, and amusing third graders. We live in a small, rural community. Our school has a diverse culture. Included in our boundary is a Native American reservation from which a good part of our student body comes.

Our students all qualify for free breakfast and lunch.

Even though our cultures and economic situations are varied, our school is a welcoming place of learning, working together, and providing the best for our children.

My Project

Having a bright, large, round area rug in my classroom will add to our flexible seating arrangement. The area rug is a great place to gather students for morning meetings where we discuss daily events and classroom activities.

The rug will also be used as a gathering place for our math "Number Talks" each day.

This is when students sit on the floor and discuss number sense using whiteboards or just working out problems mentally. Sitting together in a circle creates a feeling of unity and engagement. It is also more comfortable and gives students a break and more options than sitting in chairs.
