My Project
In the Fall of 2024 I will be moving to a kindergarten classroom. I believe in movement and hands on activities, especially for the littles. I want to implement flexible seating on the 1st day of school. Through flexible seating, my students will have the freedom to sit at different places around the room. They will also be in different chairs and positions. This will accommodate to all my learners. Hands-on manipulatives will be used all across curriculum.
I believe students learn better by learning hands-on vs.
paper and pencil. Fine motor and manipulatives will also build hand strength and help my learners be stronger writers.
More than half of students from low‑income households
