My Students

I teach in a rural, public, elementary school with four hundred students, grades pre-kindergarten through sixth. Many students choose to participate in sports, Destination Imagination, music, and band. We keep our class sizes small, with sixteen to twenty students in each classroom in grades pre-k through third. In this way, we can offer more personal attention to each child’s needs as possible.

My students are sweet and full of potential, but the poverty level is high, with a fifty percent free or reduced-price lunch population.

Nonetheless, my school tries very hard to afford all students the same opportunities, no matter what social or economic situation may exist in their lives. All students are offered free breakfast. We have a peer mentoring program run by our high school students, that attends to the primary students' social-emotional needs and offers free supper as well.

Personally, I take time to get to know each child in my classroom as a whole person. My goal throughout the year is to understand their academic strengths and weaknesses, as well as their character strengths and weaknesses. I love being their friend, teacher, and hopefully, a role model.

My Project

Balance chairs are the perfect chairs for improving concentration and focus in the classroom at their desk, this exercise ball chair helps to reduce restlessness, fidgeting and prevent boredom. The balance chair promotes a healthy posture and keeps the mind focused and body engaged - students are able to focus more intently when actively balancing their body on a balance ball.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to sit.

Thank you for supporting my students!
