My Students

My students come from a variety of backgrounds. With such diversity, our best times in the classroom occur when they are all active participants who have a choice in their learning. Their favorite thing is to find their own personal enjoyment and to have full ownership of their reading. They are the best people to recommend books to their peers. I've heard students say how much they enjoy when they get to include their own hobbies and likes in the reading classroom. These opportunities allow students to not only help themselves and their own learning but also help each other. We are a true community of learners whose best shines through when a thriving classroom exists.

My Project

Flexible seating and the instruments to make it possible will encourage students to take charge of their own reading and writing. You are always more productive when you are in a space that you have created and are proud of!

Having cushions and dry erase clipboards will help students move from the usual classroom seating and the mindset that accompanies it, into a new workspace with fresh engagement and ideas.

To help students maintain confidence and boundaries with the flexible workspace, I will use the book, "What Do You Do With an Idea?" and a classroom doorbell. The book will help promote and encourage ownership of their own creative ideas, while the doorbell will ensure that the positive expectations of the learning space remain consistent into the flexible learning environment.
