My students are creative, driven, and ready to conquer the road ahead. We are from a small town in Louisiana where, like most, funds are limited. Our school is composed of only the fourth and fifth grades, with 11 fifth grade and 10 fourth grade classrooms. Our students come to us from two different feeder schools in our area, giving us a very diverse student population. Our school was built in 1959 and is composed of 50% economically disadvantaged students. Our school is also located within a military community, giving us the opportunity to enrich many different lives. My students are preparing to be successful in a technology driven society. They have goals, dreams, and aspirations for this school year. I know that they can accomplish anything, but it is my hope to make sure they have all the needed resources to do that!
I hope to unlock the potential in each and every one of my students!
My Project
In order for a classroom environment to be successful students need to be engaged. Engagement is getting harder and harder, as students are growing up in a society full of vivid video games. One way to engage learners is offer them choices in the classroom. This allows students to take ownership in learning.
I want to offer a variety of seating options in order to meet the needs of all of my students.
Allowing students to sit on wobble chairs, work on lap desks, or wiggle on the chair bands during the lesson I will be able to meet their needs and keep them engaged.
