My Students

Our school is located on the beautiful island of Hawaii. With a student population of well over 800 students in grades K-5, my students come from diverse backgrounds. They come to school with smiles on their faces and the willingness to try whatever may come their way.

They are fun loving, enthusiastic and caring.

They are unique in so many ways.

Their thirst for knowledge is contagious and the pureness in their hearts are sincere. The lessons I learn from my Kindergartners are priceless and immeasurable.

My Project

I am creating a classroom which promotes an atmosphere where students feel like they are at home. Flexible seating is good for everyone. Students will be able to move these chair cubes to create spaces that encourages collaboration.

Having them get together with their friends and share ideas also promotes creativity and a sense of belonging.

Providing students with alternative seating options will allow them to freely choose a space that works for them. Creating a student-centered classroom is my main goal! Seeing students who are excited about learning, able to make good choices, and just happy to be in school, is so rewarding!
