My Students

Third graders are a joy to be around and the students at our school are no exception. They are at a unique age where they still love coming to school every day but need a nurturing and engaging classroom to feel safe and allow them to work to their greatest potential. Our school pulls kids from 8 townships and is part of a rural school district that includes one middle /high school and one elementary school. Our school is the heart of a tight-knit community that values education.

My students are thoughtful, kind, motivated learners.

They have been resilient and flexible in dealing with all the changes in the way classrooms are set up and instruction is delivered. Their families have been supportive and have rolled with the changes in a way that makes me feel especially valued.

My Project

In order to make up for lost time in the classroom and teachers have had to meet students where they are academically and socially. Since some students were virtual, some were homeschooled and some were in-person last year, we have found that academic and social abilities vary widely. To meet these varying needs, I spend much of the day teaching in small groups and creating independent work geared toward individual students.

These flexible seating options will allow students to take ownership of their learning environment when they are working independently.

Instead of having to stay at their desk, I would like to encourage students to work where they are comfortable and productive.

My third graders have had two years of interrupted learning and yet come to school with a positive attitude and a willingness to roll with the punches. I just want to give them the world and the introduction of new seating in our classroom will be a start to that. Thank you for your support.
