My Students

My students are brilliant, engaging, and hardworking 4th graders. I have the privilege of teaching these bright and interesting young people each day.

The goal in our classroom is for all students to learn while also seeing themselves as learners who are ready to take on new challenges.

Our classroom community is filled with students who are excited about learning. My school is located in a low-income area; 75% of my students qualify for free/reduced lunch. The neighborhood is a mixture of cultures, first and second-generation immigrants as well as students and families who have called it home for generations. It is an incredible group of families, students, teachers, and community partners.

My Project

These items are intended to provide students with options to wiggle, move, and be flexible in our classroom!

Not all students focus best while sitting quietly at a desk; in fact many of my students benefit from moving, sitting in a special seat, or using a fidget tool during instruction or work time to help them focus.

In our classroom, I like to provide supportive resources for students to help them engage in our learning. When it is challenging for students to participate, I also provide a calm down space for students to take a break before returning to instruction. These tools will equip this space with new and different resources to support more students.
