My Students

Fifth grade students are full of energy and have a passion to learn about the world around them. My students love to engage in hands-on experiences, and they enjoy being able to move around and explore while learning. They are insightful, creative, and innovative, and the classroom is an open door to help guide them to find their passions.

I want my classroom to feel like a second home for my students.

In my classroom, we value kindness and positivity. The classroom is more than just a learning space. It should also foster love, security, and familiarity. Please help me create a nurturing environment for my students.

My Project

I am a first year teacher, and I was hired for my first full-time teaching job this past September. Now that I am settled into my school and classroom, I am recreating my learning space for my students. I would love to create the best learning environment possible for my fifth grade students by incorporating flexible seating. My students love to get up, move around the room, and use the floor space. So, I would love to give my students exercise ball chairs and wobble stools for alternative seating options that would be used throughout the day while we are hard at work and learning.

These flexible seating items will help my students feel safe and ready to learn.

The seating options would also be used for Daily 5, math centers, technology time, and cooperative learning. Exercise ball chairs and wobble stools would help to give my students a comfortable and enjoyable learning experience. Please help me give my students flexible seating options to make learning fun, engaging, and innovative!
