My Students

First Graders are amazing students! They are so eager to learn and to try new things. Their curiosity and love for learning are contagious. My students are hard workers. My love for working with such fantastic kids is what keeps me going. I am blessed with such a rewarding purpose.

My Project

First Graders do better during direct instruction when they are up close on the rug. They are free from the distractions in their desks. This rug gives them their own space and is easy to assign spots. I have seen the difference a comfortable rug with assigned seating can make. It keeps students up close and engaged and eliminates a lot of behavior issues. It helps me connect with the students and see quickly when they need encouragement. The rug also makes the room feel more like home. It’s a safe meeting spot for our class. It’s important to provide a safe space for students to learn with all the uncertainties and inconsistency that COVID has brought into their lives.
