FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Dedman's classroom raised $214

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

My students are an inquisitive, self-motivated, inspiring, active, and amazing bunch of students.

They inspire me to be the best teacher that I can for them because of their love and passion for learning. They love to read, sing, be creative, explore, and participate in activities that keep them fit. They love to learn new things and challenge themselves to be the best they can be.

My Project

I am inspired to create a space for flexible seating in my class in order to ignite creativity and productivity for all learners. The seats will hopefully inspire my students to collaborate and complete classwork and projects comfortably.

The purpose of flexible seating is to create a welcoming environment that gives students choices on where and how to complete classwork and projects based on the space they have chosen.

A flexible classroom allows students to find a space that they are most comfortable with and gives them the best way for them to learn and complete their work. The stools that I am requesting will be used at our Learning Bar.

I believe that creating a flexible space in my classroom will enable my students to be productive and creative and collaborate with each other in a safe and comfortable environment, which I believe will lead to academic success.
