My Students

My students are a very unique, great bunch of kids! My students come from unstable homes and low income families! They are a group that needs to feel welcome and comfortable to stay engaged! My main focus is on my students and their learning! They need to be comfortable by using flexible seating in the classroom in order to learn! A student-centered classroom where they can dive in depth into the content of fourth grade while working together to become as successful as possible! This helps students develop teamwork and problem-solving skills that will also benefit them greatly in their future careers! It gives them a great opportunity to help everyone become successful!

My Project

Giving my students flexible seating options allows for them to have a choice, be comfortable, work in small groups, learn from each other, and stay engaged! In my classroom, I do a lot of group work. Giving my students the ability to sit at round tables allows for them to be able to work in groups more successfully. Sitting on the carpet during a whole group lesson allows for more in-depth student conversation. Allowing them to sit at wobble stools allows for them to get their wiggles out while they are hard at work! Students love to be able to move and wiggle while they are learning.

I want my students to feel comfortable and loved!
