My Students

In my classroom, we practice learning through a variety of ways. We do not sit in class and read from a textbook all day. My students love to learn through hands-on projects. It is amazing to see their faces light up when a concept finally clicks and they understand the objective and lesson.

My Project

Flexible seating arrangements will be used for classroom instruction and reading in the fifth-grade elementary classroom at Forest Grove Schools in Idabel, Oklahoma. Flexible seating allows students with differentiating disabilities such as ADD and ADHD the ability to be integrated into a general education classroom with their peers.

Math manipulatives will be used to demonstrate math concepts such as symmetry, fractions, measurement, and shape attributes for students who struggle to visualize and understand.

The manipulatives can help students see relationships between fractional parts of the same whole, compare and order fractions, see equivalent fractions, and explore common denominators.

Science manipulatives can help students visualize and understand scientific concepts in differing areas such as mixtures, solutions, rocks, and minerals. These manipulatives can help solidify learning.
