My Students

My students come from many different backgrounds and have diverse abilities and interests. Each of them is unique, however, they all have one thing in common; a love for learning. My students are actively engaged in their learning throughout the day during small group work, project-based learning, and hands-on activities. My students are amazing and I want them to have the tools and resources to best support their academic growth. My students truly deserve the best!

My Project

Having a desk that is large enough for several students to sit at comfortably allows me to teach effective small group lessons. Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times, they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently, my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clipboard. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk. These books will help meet my students where they are in terms of reading.
