My Students

My first graders are curious, innocent minds who are constantly striving to learn more about their world. Each boy and girl enter my room eager to learn and willing to try their best. I marvel at their energy and love of learning. This love drives my passion to provide them with the best learning experience possible.

My students come from a variety of backgrounds and economic status households.

Many of them have never been out of our small rural town. Their curious minds keep me on my toes and never disappoint in bringing some sunshine to my day.

My Project

Research shows that when students are provided some autonomy and control in their learning and workspace they become more invested in their own success. Flexible seating also provides students with the opportunity to make responsible choices in where they work and who they work with throughout the day.

The past few years have shown that students are coming to school with a greater need for sensory input.

Providing different seating choices allows teachers to help students navigate a choice that will meet these needs. The goal is to help children to self regulate these needs.

In the past I have used collections of used and unwanted furniture from yard sale sites and bulk trash days. I am excited to provide my student with quality specially designed seating that will enhance their learning experience.
