My Students

On a typical day in my 1st and 2nd grade classroom, my students are working individually and corporately to create, innovate, and learn. Just imagine what it would be like if you could channel their energy in the classroom to help them create even more!

My students are bright, creative, and hardworking.

They love a challenge, and they love to share their work with their classmates and dream great things. They love to meet together and share their thoughts and work together.

My Project

We have recently received many flexible seating options for our classroom and had our room transformed! We are now in need of a colorful classroom rug to gather on for our morning meeting and for learning time.

My students love to gather to work, collaborate, and learn!

Having a bright, colorful classroom rug would greatly enhance our meeting and work times. It will allow for my students to have designated seating but also have the flexibility to move around and work with a partner. We need a special spot to do our morning meeting, math talks, and small group teaching times.
