My Students

Every day is new and different in so many ways in my classroom. I want to take my students as far as they are able to go academically by the end of second grade. I want them to be ready to enter third grade with confidence.

"No significant learning can occur without a significant connection." - Comer

Our second grade classroom consists of 22 eager-to-learn students and one enthusiastic teacher waiting to meet the needs of each of my students. My 22 students represent a diverse population with varying learning levels. Some of my students need daily intervention while others need daily enrichment. I have high expectations for each student, meeting them where they are in their life journeys and at their educational levels.

My school consists of about 1,200 students of diverse backgrounds and diverse learning abilities. We have a growing population of ELL students, students we implement interventions for in reading and math, as well as students needing enrichment to acquire success for their educational needs. Our school has an amazing administration and staff who are dedicated to meeting each of these diverse needs and providing a warm, nurturing, and respectful environment.

My Project

The comfy couch and soft seats will provide a comfortable place for my students to sit as well as encouragement to collaborate. The couch will encourage students to collaborate by providing a comfortable place that fits two to four students. The chairs provide those students that like to spread out on the floor a comfortable spot.

The provision of comfortable seating choices and collaboration provide my students with opportunities to thrive in an atmosphere that empowers each student to reach their potential.

I have had a flexible seating classroom for two years, providing choices and teaching them to make a positive impact in their education. The flexible seating allows each student to find what works for them.
