My Students

I teach 20 ten and eleven year old students. This is my first year teaching and as much as I would love to buy everything for my classroom, I am not able to. My students are some of my biggest joy's. I have a blend of special personalities that make our classroom wonderful.

My students are some of the most selfless and kind kids I have ever met and I am lucky to be their teacher.

My Project

Giving students the opportunity to chose the seating that works best for them. Research shows the power within having flexible seating options in the classroom. This allows students to self discover and take leadership of what environment best suits their learning needs. Ultimately, students are the most important aspect of education. By giving students these seating options, I will encourage student to self regulate their feelings and make the best choice for themselves.

I want to ensure that my classroom is collaborative, creative, and critical thinking.

Flexible seating is an amazing addition to having these aspects in my classroom.
