Our school and community persevered through Hurricane Harvey together in 2017-18. Our classroom is our student's home away from home. My classroom is full of energetic 5th graders. I encourage a lot of movement in the classroom because nobody likes to sit still. I like to empower my students to have choice in everything they do.
The families we serve really want what is best for their kids and trust me as their teacher to help make those decisions.
The students in my classroom are very loving and caring individuals. I want to foster the love and care of school. I also want to empower my students so they can be successful in the decisions they make on a daily basis.
My Project
When I work, I want to be comfortable and sometimes it is not at a desk. The active learning stools will provide the students with a different option besides a hard chair. Many students also have attention problems, being able to move and change seating can eliminate the behavior issues that may arise. They can pull the chairs together as they are reading and discussing.
Again, students spend so much time in the classroom and they need to be comfortable.
That may be having a chair that allows them to move, a classroom that they can collaborate, and even a spot where they can work in piece. These students are learning that a classroom is not just within the four walls of a classroom. It doesn't have to be a place that is orderly and uncomfortable. Please help these students get a chance for change.
