My Students

This is my very first year of teaching, and I am passionate about creating an environment where my 26 students can learn in their own unique ways. The students in my classroom are full of energy and excited about learning.

My students love STEM and math.

I love seeing their excitement when they learn something new. I learn just as much from them as they do from me!

Flexible seating would allow them the opportunity to move as they learn.

My Project

Help us embark on our adventure into flexible seating! Recently, flexible seating has become a popular way to engage students and create a more comfortable learning environment. The students in my classroom love to move and would greatly benefit from these flexible seating options.

Through the use of a standing desk, balance balls, and wobble seats, students will have the opportunity to decide the ways in which they learn and work best.

Flexible seating allows for students to develop and build their decision-making skills. Students learn about self-control and taking ownership of their learning. Flexible seating also provides students with the opportunity to collaborate in an environment where they feel welcome and comfortable.
