Learning involves a student's attention. Young learners need to be close to the teacher. Students sit in a circle for learning, sharing and reading. Comfort and cleanliness are important factors during learning. Students need to be available for instruction.
My students are awesome.
They are smart and motivated; we love to learn. We have a fabulous school. Our rugs are old and will soon be replaced with tiles. Students would be more comfortable off of the floor.
My Project
These bench/storage units will provide clean safe seating for my students with quick and easy access to important manipulative's for our lessons! first graders use a variety of supplies to participate in learning. Storing those supplies and accessing them seamlessly can be a challenge.
Students learn best when they are most comfortable.
Being off the floor will keep them safe and clean. Managing a classroom involves also managing the environment. I would prefer my students not sit on the floor.
