My Project

I love my students because they each bring unique personalities, strengths, and potential into the classroom, and watching them grow both academically and personally is one of the greatest rewards of teaching. They thrive when given trust, choice, and support, which is why flexible seating is so important. It empowers them to take ownership of their learning, collaborate more easily, and find the physical space where they feel most focused and comfortable, ultimately helping them succeed in ways traditional desks cannot.

For students who may become overwhelmed by sensory input, social stress, or emotional regulation challenges providing a tent in the classroom as a safe calming space supports students in regrouping and feeling more comfortable and confident.
