My Project

I have a classroom full of over several periods of thirty-three inquisitive, creative, and active sixth graders who are adapting to a 'new' way of school with a love of learning. This has created a need to develop their foundational learning skills, as well as advance their development in problem-solving skills while flourishing their intellectual understanding and processing.

Some of my students are English Language Learners (ELLs), some of my students receive free or reduced-price lunches and some have special learning needs.

All of my students need to be actively engaged in their learning and need a program that can enhance their learning that can help meet the needs of these diverse learners. Children need to be able to not only move their bodies to get their brain-firing neurons for reading, analyzing various texts, and understanding social studies while developing their written word; but children need various opportunities to express and learn these key important factors.

Simply put, students need to be actively engaged in their learning and need a classroom that can meet the needs of such diverse learners. Having the ability to move their bodies to get their brain-firing neurons for reading, social studies, writing, or in a group activity. Children need an environment that is relaxing, and engaging.

However, this will start the journey to empower them with greater flexibility. A futon and breakfast stools will allow them more comfortably work at different tables, being able to sit or lie on the floor with a different chair. Making sure my students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them to expand their thinking; the freedom of choice has created a new type of learner.
