My Students

My kindergarten students are a melting pot. Each student has his/her own physical and educational needs. My class includes ESL students, special needs students, and general education students.

My kindergarteners learn in many different ways.

They are all special with so much to give to the learning environment. My class is excited about learning and they love coming to school every day.

The children have a desire to learn and can keep that desire with the right inspiring materials around them!

My Project

These seats will enable my students to sit anywhere comfortably and learn. They can choose to sit in a group or work independently. The children will have a choice where and how to do their work and feel comfortable doing it. Children have different learning styles, that includes how they sit! Traditional seating is not good for all students. Children need flexibility when it comes to the classroom.

When my students have chosen a spot and are comfortable, they will be more engaged in their learning!

The more engaged they are, the more they will learn!

The calming colors will not overwhelm or distract any students. These cushions and bean bag chairs will enhance our learning environment.
