My Project

Fifth-grade students are amazing to work with!! At this age they are still inquisitive by nature but are also capable of finding the answers on their own when given the right tools and environment to explore. In my classroom, I try to make learning as exciting as possible. I love being able to see my students grow in their ability to lead their own learning, their confidence grows, and excitement when they have one of those “lightbulb” moments. By allowing my students the ability to feel comfortable in the room I know they can succeed.

When students are given an opportunity to sit and work where they want to, they will be able to fully focus on their learning.

My students love to work anywhere but their desk. I would like to be able to add more flexible seating to my classroom.
