My students are amazing! They are first graders, just getting their first taste of education. They are learning to read, write, do math, and push themselves academically to do their best! I teach at a Title I school and the majority of my student are on free or reduced-priced lunch. I have several students who have learning challenges, several who are English language learners, and a few who are high achieving and need to have their learning fostered at a higher level!
My Project
After 30 years teaching, I'm moving to first grade in a project-based learning environment!
Research has shown that students don't all learn the same way and flexible seating choices will help those students with learning difficulties.
By giving them the option of standing, sitting closer to the ground, or fidgeting while they work, without disturbing those around them, we can have a successful learning environment for all. My first grade class will be the first classroom experience some of my students will be getting! I want my room to be welcoming, engaging and at the same time allow for movement, investigation, and community building!
