My Students

My students are very eager to learn. They are vibrant, excited, and curious seven and eight-year-olds. They love to talk and share ideas with each other. They love visual learning with music as well as using their hands to create projects and to explore new ideas and concepts.

My students take pride in knowing their work is appreciated.

They strive to do their best work each day. The also strive to be their best each day even when there are other obstacles that may stand in their way.

My Project

My students are very expressive and open to sharing their thoughts. There are times when they have shared their thoughts with one another in a disrespectful manner. To alleviate the amount of outbursts in the classroom I have found that lights off and music really helps them to stay cool, calm, collected and they become oh so pleasant towards another.

We need wobble chairs, bluetooth speakers, rainbow glow lamp and geometric room light to help promote sharing ideas respectfully.

With a peaceful atmosphere, I begin teaching and becoming engaged with peaceful, respectful, and pleasant students. The supplies I am requesting will help to ensure all of us in the classroom to remain cool. Helping with cool moods/attitudes is appreciated. The speakers will enhance the sound of the music which is being played from my phone. We will no longer have to worry about the phone ringing in the classroom interrupting our music because it only gets so loud. The lights will create a peaceful yet vibrant atmosphere to keep us engaged during our guided reading while continuing to encourage us all to do our very best. The wobble chairs will allow my students to move while staying in their seats as we are working in small groups. These items will keep my vibrant learners excited about reading and writing. It will set the tone after lunch as well. The atmosphere will serve as a reminder to stay calm, be cool, and to maintain positive attitudes.

"Attitudes are contagious. Is yours worth catching?"
