My Students

A kindergarten classroom in the year 2020 isn't the same as a kindergarten classroom in the year 2000 or even 2010. Instead of children learning through play, you find students who are learning as close to play based learning as I, the teacher, can get away with.

When you enter my classroom in rural Mississippi, you are sure to see 23 bright faces.

These faces belong to students who are insightful, eager, funny, kind, and busy. These students love to learn and I love teaching them! My main goal is to give these students a chance to learn at a developmentally appropriate level!

My Project

I teach in a kindergarten classroom made up of 23 very different students. My students are very driven and work very hard. In all of this hard work, I find many of the kids have a hard time staying on task. I find it very important to make the day easier on their little minds and bodies.

Sometimes we forget that they are still 5 years old and NEED fidget time even DURING their task work.

I hope to integrate these flexible seating options so that ALL students in my classroom feel like they can conquer the world in kindergarten!
