My Students

My students are kind, caring individuals who genuinely look out for each other’s interests. They love to move, play, and learn. Their brains are sponges, always soaking up any knowledge they can! They remember almost anything you tell them - and they don’t let you forget it either! They are curious, imaginative, and active. They ask questions all the time! Their little bodies always have the wiggles. They love to play with blocks, Magna-tiles, Lincoln Logs, cars, ramps, and pretend to have dance parties. Many of my students love to draw and create masterpieces too! They all have such wonderful things to offer the world, and I’m so glad to have the privilege of being their teacher.

My Project

Flexible seating would give my students an inviting and comfortable place to sit and listen to stories, play partner games, and collaborate with each other.

Currently, when I am teaching, my students either sit on the uncomfortable floor or sit at the tables and cannot see.

All of my students deserve an inviting space to learn and grow. By donating to this project, you will be giving my students a comfortable and inviting place to sit, learn, and engage.

Having flexible seating in my classroom will create an environment that feels like the comforts of their own home.
