My Students

All of my kiddos are creative, thoughtful and always full of questions because they love learning! We all love hands-on, active, engaging projects that challenge and allow them to critically think to find solutions! Every day my kiddos come to school ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. They are truly, my reason to give each day my everything!

I want to give my kiddos a school experience that will create a magical love for learning for years.

Our school is amazing in that teachers are encouraged to find unique and out of the box ways to engage our students. Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best may vary greatly.

Being that I am only a second year teacher, I want to always be able to incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, alternative seating, and learning options to ensure that each kiddo's needs are met, right where they are! They are always a truly incredible group, and I am so lucky and blessed to have a new set of kiddos every single year!

My Project

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, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. 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.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The Stackable stools provide a fun seat while engaging in small reading groups. The hexagon floor cushions and the reading chair pillow will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. Lastly the surf desks are a fun way to work absolutely any where in our room.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
