My Students

As a first year teacher, I have not yet met my students, and I will not have the opportunity to meet my students until August. However, I want my classroom to be perfect upon their arrival. My school is located in a high poverty area, and many of my students find their safety within the walls of our school.

My ultimate goal is to create a classroom community that is developmentally appropriate for my students to grow emotionally and academically.

I hope to create a safe space that my students are excited to enter each day. Even though I haven't met my students yet, I know that they are going to be special and deserve the very best education!

My Project

By having these wobble chairs in my classroom, my students will be wobbling for words. While many tasks are completed in a small group setting throughout the day, reading is the main task that will be performed at my small group table. The students will have the opportunity to sit on these wobble chairs while completing their lessons.

First grade students are full of energy, and I know that my students will love having the opportunity to move around, while also learning.

I cannot wait to see how much my students benefit from these wobble chairs. Each student is unique and needs different things to be successful. I am hopeful that the wobble chairs become the tool that some of my students need to be the best student possible.
