My Students

My students are creative, fun, curious and overall - AMAZING. They love to learn about things that intrigue them and make their brains grow. These are children who have already becoming amazing leaders of our future and they care about others.

In our classroom we are always learning new things, growing as people and becoming stronger as leaders!

Our classroom has a focus of collaboration, creativity and discovery of the world around them. We know that every day we are in the classroom we have a chance to grow. We set goals and work to achieve them as individuals as well as a team. The future is bright for these tiny humans!

My Project

Students deserve a say in how they learn. Flexible seating allows students to sit in a position/choice of seating that will optimize their learning. Flexible seating provides students with options such as: being able to move while learning on an exercise ball, seated lower on a foam cushion, seated up higher on a stool or on the mid-level choice of a crate style stool. Having these types of differentiation in our classroom is sure to foster success for each child.

Children do not all learn the same way, so help me provide my kiddos with options that will foster learning and creativity in our classroom!
