My Students
I am currently teaching second grade at a Title I Primary School in a small South Carolina town. My students come from various ethnic, economic, and social backgrounds. Some of them are considered at-risk students because they are below grade level in reading or math. They are some of the sweetest 8 and 9 year olds you can ever teach, and all work hard!
No matter where my students come from, my classroom is home to them.
I encourage them to love each other as brothers and sisters and to feel safe with one another. Making our classroom a home ensures a enjoyable school year!
My Project
This year my students have gotten the experience of a flexible seating classroom. The seating has been a wonderful addition to the learning environment. However, the room is becoming chaos because students' materials have no home without a traditional desk.
To avoid my classroom turning into a disaster area, the students are in need of cubbies.
My district does not supply each classroom with cubbies. I never really had a need for cubbies until I started using the flexible seating. Without a traditional desk, studnets; books and notebooks are in bins by their seats. The bins get knocked over frequently which either makes a mess or causes a distraction cleaning it up.
Giving each student an assigned cubby would allow their materials to have a "home." This would not only keep the room cleaner, but it would also help students stay more organized.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
