My Students

I have a great group of kiddos this year! At 8 and 9 years old, students are excited about learning in an environment that is welcoming and interactive. They love working together and participating in group discussions. My 3rd graders love sports, drawing, art, and especially P.E. They are a very bright group of kids with a lot to offer. I really feel this change in my classroom will help my students in so many ways! They really deserve this!

My Project

Flexible Seating gives students the chance to choose how they learn in the classroom. As a child, I would have loved to have an exciting classroom environment full of options. I believe that students are more engaged when they have a voice in the classroom! I would like to add wobble seats and a couch to my classroom to better serve my class. I feel that my students would really enjoy these seating options. I have some students in my current class that do not like sitting at a traditional seat. They would rather sit on the soft classroom rug.
