My Students

This is my second year teaching! My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

Even though we are in a low SES area, these students deserve to learn and grow.

Many of my students come from traumatic experiences, causing them to lose focus easily.

I am in need of flexible seating choices for my students. Many of them come from traumatic experiences and need flexible seating to help them regulate themselves.

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly. We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!

My Project

I am in need of flexible seating for my classroom to enhance student learning. Many students struggle with paying attention or sitting safely in a traditional chair.

With flexible seating, students will be able to sit comfortably and pay attention.

This will increase student learning and allow for students to help regulate themselves. Many of my students come from traumatic experiences and need a safe outlet. Flexible seating will allow them to get out their extra energy in a positive manner while learning. This will allow for less behaviors in the classroom and better retention of information. This will help all of my students, not just the ones needing the flexible seating.
