My Students

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin

One way my students love to learn is through reading and sharing.

My students continue to develop their love of reading and their ability to orally share what they are learning. Their confidence with participating in discussions is growing and leading them to develop a better understanding of the concepts being taught in class as native and non-native English speakers.

My students are enthusiastic fifth graders who are excited for their final year in elementary school. They are well-behaved and highly motivated to learn. Their positive attitude enables them to be focused hard workers. My class is made up of 30% English Language Learners which has me using various teaching methods to help them improve in the English language along with mastering the other fifth grade standards including the Common Core Standards. We still lack basic school supplies, furniture, and equipment, but it doesn't deter my students from being academically successful.

My Project

Thanks to my wonderful donors in a previous project, I was able to get twelve of these wonderful chairs to add to my classroom to help me start implementing flexible seating. Since I am getting rid of some old desks and chairs, I need to replace them with new, sturdy, and comfortable chairs, like the Contemporary Four Leg Chairs for my students to sit on at their desks and compliment our new rug and tables.

I see my students struggle to sit for periods of time because their chairs are in poor condition.

Many of the chairs in my classroom are decades old, uncomfortable, and are breaking. With the new ergonomic chairs, not only will their postures improve, but their ability to focus and learn will, too! My students are loving the same chairs we have now and we would love the rest of the class to be able to have the same experience with these chairs, too! I have seen improvements with the students remaining in their seats and ability to focus for longer periods of time with our current chairs, so I know having more of them in the classroom will allow all my students to have the same and equal access to a better learning environment.
