My Students

I have 22 energetic, creative and kind 5th graders! Our classroom is full of smiles, laughter, creativity, and hard work. In our room, we strive to build a great classroom community and work together to make our room the "place to be!"

I want my classroom to be an inviting space, where all students feel comfortable to learn!

My students love to read and work around the room. This is why I want to enhance my classroom with flexible seating options.

My Project

Flexible seating will provide my students with the opportunity to sit where they learn best. My students love to work around the room in what we call "smart spots." They also love to read! They'll find a "smart spot" and dive into a great book!

Not only will your donation put a smile on my 5th graders' faces, but it will also help my students focus and be more productive.

By implementing flexible seating, I am creating a learning environment that is comfortable for all my students. Comfortable students are calm, focused, and productive. Your donation will help my students succeed academically in a comfortable and inviting environment.
