My Students

I work with third grade students in a Title One School. They each come from different backgrounds, but come together to make our superhero classroom superb! I couldn't ask for a better bunch of students to work with.

My students have a passion for learning, a drive to always learn more, and love for one another.

Third graders are a great group of students to work with. They can have lots of energy that can be fostered to have them do some brilliant things.

My Project

My students love sitting on the floor and we are in need of new, comfortable seats that will help the students be able to sit on the ground and feel comfortable. When the students pick the seat that works best for them they have better focus and produce more. We have had flexible seating for four years and our seating options have been well loved, and we have had to discard a few options. I want to continue to give my students several different options, so they can pick the one that will help them be in the best spot to help them learn at their best!
