My Project

Hi! I love my students each and every year. I live in New York City so my classroom is always very diverse which is so special. We always celebrate our culture by sharing what holidays we celebrate, foods we eat, clothes we wear, and music/dance. I have a background in musical theater so I always love to incorporate music and movement into my lessons to engage my students and have fun! I have many students this year that struggle with sitting still and focusing for a prolonged time. These wobble cushions will be helpful tools to help students stay focused on the carpet and at their seats. I appreciate it so much and I'll be set for years to come!
