My Students

My students are amazing, creative and full of passion. They absolutely love hands-on, active, and engaging activities! They come to school each day ready to learn and try new things.

Students in my class are inquisitive, compassionate, and creative.

They learn best when comfortable and in a comfortable environment. When using flexible seating, they take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. They are amazing!

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning. In our classroom, 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

These materials will help boost my students reading and writing skills. It will also help dress the room to make it a work friendly environment. A lot of my students struggle with both reading and writing and some times get down on themselves. When I started making the room a little more work friendly last year, I noticed a change in how the students both worked and acted. My students work best when in a group and the reading and writing kits would allow me to work in groups with the students. Essentially, we need materials that will be beneficial and the same for the students in the group. When working together it gives the students confidence and with confidence, success is the end goal.
