My Students

My students are amazing! This is a very hardworking, curious bunch of learners who are eager to try new things. Even though it is a small group, it has many diverse learners.

I have 20 students this year who love learning.

We have been working on many STEM projects this year which has motivated them like nothing else I have ever seen in my 30 years of teaching.

Inquiry-based learning has also been a driving force in our classroom this year. The students have taken ownership of their own learning, and their growth has been outstanding. Flexible seating will help in meeting all students' learning styles.

My Project

Flexible seating is a great way for students to work in a setting that works for them. I am in need of flexible seating options in my classroom to maximize student learning. Some students are better able to focus if they can have different options in searing rather than just chairs. Ball chairs are a great option of a flexible seating that allows movement for more focus. The floor seating will be perfect for reading areas so students can get comfortable while reading a great book! Both of these options allow the students to be more in control of their learning and what works best for them.
