My Students

Is there a job better than mine? If you asked me, the answer would be no – without any hesitation. I wholeheartedly believe I have the best job in the world. I set my alarm each night knowing that I get to wake up to go teach the best class in the world, at the best school in the world. I wake up each morning to teach a diverse group of students; students whose grandparents are born and bred "Livermorians", students whose parents moved here from India, Mexico, Egypt, Germany. I have students who live in million-dollar homes and students who live in low-income housing. Every day this diverse group of students, faculty, and hard-working parents make my job a pleasure because we all share one thing – we value the importance of education.

Third grade is a major developmental year in which students grow in many key areas.

Students become more self-aware as they begin to apply deeper problem-solving skills and analyze more complex pieces of literature. At this stage, children are able to take their writing deeper as they experiment with multiple paragraph papers in various genres. Because of my school community and my students, teaching is fulfilling.

My Project

Flexible seating empowers students to take charge of their learning and make the best choices for themselves. Six hours is a long time to expect an eight-year-old to sit in one location. Variety is the spice of learning. Throughout the day students work independently, in pairs, and in groups. Throughout the day students also work on the rug, at their desks, in the garden. These lap desks would allow students to sit alongside partners in the garden, on the floor of the classroom in small groups, in the hallway working independently on Chromebooks.

The freedom to make a choice will motivate students and encourage active learners.

The lap desks I selected will help my students by giving them options to make more effective learning choices. Teaching students how to learn is a far greater gift than teaching what to learn. The key to academic success is learning behaviors. In the wake of the ongoing pandemic, it is more important than ever to encourage active learners with strong metacognitive skills to better enable them to leap and bound academically.
