My Students

I have twenty-four inquisitive 4th grade students this year who attend an outstanding elementary school with a population of about five hundred students. We are a very culturally diverse island community with a mix of Hawaiian, Filipino, Caucasian, Korean, Japanese, Micronesian, and Hispanic students.

My students especially enjoy doing inquiry-based learning projects that involve science, technology, engineering, art, and math.

They love to listen to all kinds of music, play the ukulele, and enjoy learning outside, in our school garden. One thing all my students have is a ton of energy! They are great kids and deserve to have a comfortable and inviting space in the classroom.

My Project

My young students love to have flexible seating options when they work on a variety of tasks. They can be seen working in small groups reading with each other, lounging on the floor while working on their computers, or wiggling on a wobbly stool while doing some math. I've been able to provide them with some awesome bean bag chairs. Unfortunately, they are currently very flat and need some new beans to plump them up again. My students would love to have the classroom chairs be comfortable once more as they sprawl around to read, complete assignments, and work collaboratively. It would help my classroom become more inviting and allow students to work comfortably in a cozy space.
