I teach at a Title I school with a high need for support due to the income-based and the physical dynamics of the home. I believe a school should be their safe haven to feel protected, loved, and successful. I love that our room is a place to call home and work together as a family.
I give each child a chance to express who they are and work to their full potential.
A growth mindset plays a critical role in our daily learning process in our classroom. From day one, I begin building relationships with each and every one of my students to ease any anxiety I can that occurs on a daily basis. Children in my room quickly respond to this. In turn, the trust is formed that I believe in them and they begin to believe in themselves!

I want my students to think...I'm possible!
My Project
I feel flexible seating, lap desk and individual journals will allow my students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them while comfortably engaged in reading, writing, and math both in small group and independently.
Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them.
I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating and tools they may use. They generally make good choices about where they sit, and are more engaged in the learning process. Personal space also assists any social and emotional struggles they may be experiencing. This will also help children who need resources to help manage ADHD behaviors that occur in our classroom.
