My Students

My students are ready and eager to learn. We are a Title I school with 100% free and reduced lunch. Our students come from a rural community with parents who want them to succeed and the best for them in life. My students are in first grade.

We enjoy learning in a nontraditional environment and using technology to explore the world around us.

My students are excited and love the opportunity to explore the world around them. They have been learning to work collaboratively and how to find solutions to real world problems.

My Project

Many of the students in my classroom experience major cases of the wiggles. In our classroom, we work in groups and move around the room as much as we can. Several of my students are diagnosed ADHD or autistic. Being able to wiggle and move around helps these students to focus and contributes to their emotional well being. Sometimes students who wiggle have a harder time paying attention in class and this transfers to low self esteem.

Research has shown that students who are given options in their seating are more likely to succeed and have a higher self esteem in and out of the classroom.

In our room, we have a yoga ball table, a pillow table, a group of desks, a standing desk, and a regular table. Students have requested more seating options to explore how they learn best. Your donation will help these student's emotional health by allowing them to feel more in control of a part of their lives. Seating is a small choice, but it makes a big difference in the attitude of my students.

Students now are different than they were even 20 years ago when I was an elementary student. They need to move and explore. Students are learning to work together and how to handle their feelings and emotions while deciding where they learn best in our classroom. They have learned to share and take turns since we have started some flexible seating. They have also learned how to handle disappointment and patience while they wait to go to their favorite learning spot.

Thank you for considering a donation to our classroom!
