My Students

My first graders walk through my door smiling every morning; that's my motivation.

I want to provide them the best environment to help them achieve their goals.

My students know that if they are willing to give me their best that I will give them my best and then some in return. You will see my students sitting at their desks as a whole only for small portions of the day. The rest of the day they are spread out throughout the room and sometimes hall. The hunched over ones who prefer the floor (a lot of them) deserve options for giving me their best. Please consider helping me design and provide options for all of my learners.

My Project

My students work best independently when given choices such as where to sit, what materials to use, etc. Expecting them to sit still at their desk and always work with a pencil and paper is not accomplishing what needs to be accomplished in first grade. Options of floor seat cushions and personal answer boards will promote this type of learning environment.

I truly believe that giving a child 'voice and choice' in their learning makes the difference.

Options to write and use hands-on materials to meet their goals as well as Letting them move around and choose their 'favorite' spot to work.

Help me supply my students with options that will get them 'out of their desks' and independently working!
