My Students

I have been working in a very diverse area for the past 4 years. My students come from very different backgrounds and are very limited in the materials needed to continue growth and learning. Even so, my students love to learn and are always very excited to explore their ideas in my classroom.

I want to see my students succeed in a safe and nurturing environment.

I would love to be able to provide more for them each day! I want to provide as much as I can for them every day!

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. I want my students to be able to work independently and in a way that will benefit them!

My students love to be able to choose where to sit each day, and I would love to provide them with more options in the coming year.

They are more engaged in their work when they are given an option of where to sit.

I have seen this year how flexible seating can really change the atmosphere in a classroom. I want that to continue for many years to come!
