My Project

I teach students who range from Kindergarten to Grade 2. As an ESL, English as a Second Language Teacher, I push into classrooms to assist my students with their learning and pull them out into my classroom for additional support. I want my students to not only learn a lot when they come to my class, but have fun while learning.

Bouncing around while learning will help my students who can get restless in the afternoon stay focused.

It is hard to stay focused all day, especially at a young age, and I know these alternative seating choices will assist my students with this. I think they will also find it fun to have this option while they are with me and make my classroom more exciting when it is time to see me.
