My Students

When you walk into my classroom, you will see creative and innovative students. My classroom motto is, "It's okay to think outside the box." Students who are growing up in our ever-changing world, need the chance to think freely in multiple and varied ways.

Thinking outside of the box is not something that every teacher enjoys, but the reality is that not all students fit inside the box.

My classroom is a safe haven for all students to learn.

My Project

I recently purchased three stability balls on my own and from the first day I used them, the kids have been fighting over them. If given more stability balls, my students will have the chance to move while the work, which helps them with concentration.

Research has shown that children are not able to sit for long periods of time.

With a stability ball, my students will have a chance to move while they learn. I am a true believer in giving all students what they need to succeed. These stability balls will help my students achieve more while gaining exercise in the classroom.
