My Project

My first graders are enthusiastic, energetic, creative, kind, and gentle scholars. They are compassionate learners that are always ready to lend a hand. They also practice and live the 7 Habits. They are easily distracted and need some boost to focus in class. These materials will help them get their wiggles out and learn throughout the day.

We are all different people with different learning styles.

There is so much we can learn from one another. As a team, we can and will accomplish so much more. Since we are all so different, our learning styles also differ as well. My kiddos would benefit from alternative seating such as wobble stools and scoop rockers so they can be more comfortable and be able to focus better. The classroom chairs are just not the right fit for some of my more wiggly students.
