My Students

My students are super hard workers full of exciting new questions each day. They try so hard each day even when learning doesn't always come easy to them. They never give up and make me proud each and every day!

My students are often several grade levels behind their peers academically and some don't have a lot of academic support at home.

For this reason, I love making their learning easier and fun in the most beneficial ways I can by providing them with flexible seating, learning tools, and manipulatives while learning each day.

My Project

This project will be put to great use for flexible seating in my classroom. By giving students alternative places like floor cushions and lap desks to learn in the classroom it will help my students keep focus while also enjoying a comfy place to learn.

Some of the "extras" in this project will help supply my classroom with things that my students often need, but can't always afford, like doodle boards, pencils, and markers.

This project will also help supply my classroom with some things for organization and will be used to make learning a little more fun with some prizes to earn.
