My Students

First grade is a fun place to be. Our students keep us laughing and learning. A day in the life of a first grader, at our school, includes silliness, curious questions, brilliant ideas, dance parties, listening to our favorite authors and hard work. They enjoy spending time outside, learning through play and fostering friendships that will carry them through their educational career at our K-8 school. Hands-on learning and integrating technology into their skill building and projects excites them as learners.

Our energetic group of students use a variety of resources to provide them with the most focused learning environment.

They are movers and shakers and enjoy a variety of work areas, tools, dividers, seating choices and movable work surfaces. These tools help increase their focus, provides them with movement as they work and helps them feel accomplished and successful.

My Project

First grade is tangled up in traditional headphones. Our first graders use headphones for a variety of activities, including working on their iPads and at our listening station. Unfortunately, despite our organizational efforts, the wires get tangled and the plugs split from the wires after a few months of use. After our headphones are out of commission, students struggle to hear directions on their iPads and become distracted by the excess noise during our daily stations.

Bluetooth headphones will allow students to focus on their learning and not on the activities around them.

Our goal is to increase attention and focus, and decrease the extra noise in our classroom that often distracts our busy first grade students. A quieter, more peaceful classroom will foster learning and growth in all academic areas.
