Inquisitive, creative, enthusiastic, and yes, even a bit dramatic! Like all young children, my kindergarteners are naturally curious and have a sincere innocence in their love for learning. They are passionate about the smallest of discoveries.
My students come in eager to learn and to be a part of a larger school community they have yet to experience.
I love having the opportunity at this unique grade level to play a role in fostering this love for school and allowing it to grow each day.
Our school is located in Wisconsin nestled along Lake Michigan, half way between Green Bay and Milwaukee. Our city is growing but continues to struggle with issues of poverty, homelessness, and trauma. My students in particular have been hit hard with these issues, yet they show up every day ready to do the best they can with what they have.
We love asking questions, reading stories, problem-solving, and getting our hands on materials. We engage in a variety of learning formats including morning meetings, small group work, guided and interactive lessons, play-based learning, and social and emotional guidance. It's all about a love for school and the family that is our class!
My Project
My students need to move and be given power in choosing what they feel best helps them to learn. These wobble stools will be a perfect addition to some of the options students have in where they feel they can do their best work.
Whenever you can give students a say in their educational experience, the results are powerful.
By allowing students to choose where they sit, they own that choice and do work they can be proud of. These seats will help with sustained focus, concentration, and offer an alternative to traditional seating. The wobble chairs will be placed around tables as an open invitation for students to sit who need to move while they work.
