My Project

This group of students is special to me because I am fortunate enough to move with them to the next grade level. They made so many achievements as kindergartners, and I want to ensure I keep supporting them in every way. This year, I would love to give them a classroom environment where they can feel comfortable as they learn. It is tough on little learners to sit in one spot all day long. With flexible seating, it will ensure the students have a choice where they learn and will support the movement they may need throughout the day.
