My Students

My fantastic first graders come to school filled with so much excitement to learn! They arrive at school every day ready to experience new things, excited to work with one another, while finding positive ways to boost confidence, and self-esteem in others. They find ways to build each other up. My students set academic and personal goals throughout the year, while I love finding ways to help them be successful.

My students are truly a fantastic group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!

My Project

The product that I have selected will help provide my students with additional seating options. My students are noticeably more engaged during lessons and less disruptive around their peers when they are given a place to call their own. Having personal space helps make learning and listening more effective.

My students will be more attentive to lessons, and they will feel more comfortable having their own place to call their own when they have a designated place to sit.

I have experienced how designated seating plays an important role with students attention span and how important it is to have their own learning space in a classroom community.
