My Students

One of the best parts about teaching middle school students is their wonderful energy and excitement. My students come from very diverse neighborhoods to blend into a diverse school. They are very open to talking about their backgrounds so others can understand who they are and where they come from.

My students are full of life and excitement.

They actively try to stay engaged in what we are learning by bringing examples from their own lives to the classroom. There are several students who are first-generation immigrants to our country who are striving to make a difference in their lives.

My Project

My students are an amazing group of kids who are highly engaged while we are working in class. Unfortunately, they have some physical needs that are not easily accommodated in a traditional classroom, which means that their behaviors are sometimes an impediment to them getting the best education they can. Middle school kids were not designed to sit in a desk all day, they need to move!

Having tables where the kids can stand or move to meet their physical needs gives my students control over their environment and their physical needs.

Kids need to move and we need a variety of ways for them to find the best strategies for their own learning. Having these tables will give us additional options in our classroom, which allows the kids to make choices. Knowledge is power!
