My Students

My classroom is home to 26 incredible first graders. Our arts-focused K-8 public school is located in a predominantly low-income and urban community with a large bilingual population, which presents both challenges and opportunities.

My students are incredibly curious, active, quirky, and compassionate, and have diverse interests, backgrounds, and needs.

We spend our days together singing, asking questions, reading, writing, discussing, working with numbers, learning about our world, and striving to make our classroom community more inclusive, supportive, and kind.

My Project

My students are ALWAYS moving. I create hands-on activities and incorporate movement into lessons as much as possible, but many of them need to be moving their bodies in order to concentrate when they are learning. Wobble stools will allow students to sit safely during lessons while still in motion. Lap desks and bumpy cushions will allow students to work while seated on the floor.

Flexible seating options will help students keep their bodies safe and steady during learning time, and tools like fidgets and chair bands will give them the ability to move their hands and feet in a non-disruptive way.
