My Students

We are an elementary school in Edmond, OK. My classroom is full of diverse learners. They are a fun flock of students full of energy.

We love to laugh and have fun in our classroom!

My students are all fantastic with beautiful smiles. Each comes to school with a positive attitude to learn. We tackle the daily tasks with enthusiasm and laughter.

My Project

These items will give students a comfortable spot to practice the skills they learn in writing and science. We have found in our classroom that collaborative groups helps increase the learning of our students.

We love to spread out around the room to work in our groups.

These items such as the rug will give us a central place to meet to discuss their writing or review their science. The wobble cushions can be used on the floor or on the chair. The bouncy balls will help with our friends that have some extra energy to get it out in a safe way.
