My Students

We learn together at an inquiry-based school in Philadelphia. My students are special to me because this is the neighborhood I grew up in. We are a classroom that includes all ranges of learners and abilities. It's truly a community because of its small size and really allows for us to be a family. Our kids are inquisitive. They love learning and being involved in all sorts of activities. They are creative and funny.

We love to challenge them to take ownership of their learning and they are always ready to respond and make it happen.

We try to rise to the occasion and discover new ways to learn and we try new things to help make that happen. We are a group that really tries to be the best people we possibly can. I wouldn't trade these kids for the world because they are all really unique. We are really bonded by our sense of community and our belief in our core values of inquiry, investigation, collaboration, presentation, and reflection.

My Project

My students have special needs and differing abilities in the way they learn. They are also presented with the challenge of being in a smaller classroom. As a result, traditional learning spaces with desks and chairs just does not work for them.

We need seating in our room that is flexible and bendy like our learning styles!

We're hoping to have a comfortable classroom environment where students can feel relaxed so they do not become frustrated by the challenging work that lies ahead for them. We're looking to create a Learning Lounge so we can accommodate all of their needs.
