Mrs. Cardenas’ Classroom Edit display name

My project will help my students practice self-motivation, cooperative learning, and self-awareness by allowing them to actively move around my classroom and find their "best" learning spot. My goal is to improve their engagement by making my classroom their classroom. Research has shown that if students move and converse with one another, they learn and retain their newly acquired knowledge. I would love to have this furniture to allow the students to complete their independent work however they feel is best for them. I have chosen furniture that fit different styles of learning. My student will be able to choose a place to sit comfortably as they do their best on their assignments. The bean bags will be placed in the library center to encourage and motivate students to read and enjoy it. I'm also requesting a classroom rug that will allow my students to sit at a close proximity when I do whole group instruction. Our student dynamics are changing, and so should our teaching styles. I need to provide for my students what they need to succeed.
