Support Mrs. Johnson's classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
Every day my classroom is home to twenty-seven beautiful students coming from diverse backgrounds and home situations, yet they walk into safety when they come to Foster Charter school and bop into my third grade classroom. A huge component of me being an effective teacher is offering my students the choices that they need to be regulated. I like to do lots of yoga sequences in my classroom, along with other mindfulness exercises. This year, my first year in third grade, I would like to integrate flexible seating into my classroom. With allowing students choice on where to sit and where they can best learn from, it gives them freedoms they need and desire. When we give students these freedoms, we will see a decrease in behaviors that consistently seem to show up when we make all of their decisions for them. Although we've already started to implement some flexible seating, this funded project would be a blessing.
