My Students

I am lucky enough to be back in one of the schools that I attended, but this time as a teacher! I have a classroom full of wonderful fourth grade students who are so excited to be back in class after such a strange ending to our last school year! They are eager to learn and I cannot wait to spend the rest of this year with them!

My Project

My students have done an amazing job of staying flexible so far this year! They have shown me that they can go with the flow, no matter what changes might arise! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful group of learners in my classroom!

Flexible seating options have been a huge hit with my students!

I feel that if I am going to expect them to be flexible, then I should offer some flexibility in return. They love being able to switch things up for certain parts of the day. Since we don't have enough flexible seating options for everyone at this time, we draw names during independent work times to see who gets to choose an alternative seat.

These floor chairs would be added to our collection of flexible seating options. The clipboards would allow students to work on written assignments away from their individual desks. Students could also use these seats when working in a small group or when reading independently.
