My Students

My students are enthusiastic learners who arrive ready to explore and be challenged every day. Each child loves to learn and they are most successful when they are engaged and when they have varied seating, learning environments, and learning strategies.

To watch my students interact and learn in just the right way for each student is the reason I love to teach!

The positive attitudes and kindness that they bring with them every day is a joy to witness.

Our school is located in a wonderful suburban town in the heart of central Massachusetts.

My Project

So many children learn best when they are not in traditional school desks and chairs. Floor seating, seating that moves, and items that can move from space to space help students focus and be comfortable as they work.

The items included in this project will help me to create seating options that work best for many learners.

Giving students the option to work in various areas of the classroom while utilizing alternative seating helps them to focus and do their best work. Many students thrive in environments where they are free to move about and have the flexibility to change their work areas over and over during the day.
