Mrs. Fernandes’ Classroom Edit display name

In an effort to make my classroom more student centered, I am seeking to provide my students with more flexible seating options for optimal learning. Research shows that movement increases oxygen intake to the brain. By having flexible seating arrangements, the students will be able to move around throughout the day. This will keep them engaged in meaningful academic work. For such reasons, I am highly motivated in transitioning my classroom into flexible seating options. In my classroom, I invite open creativity, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking, which can be attained by providing students with little details that make a huge difference. My goal is to implement flexible seating so that my students can have more seating choices. In return, I would like to see the children have more motivation and higher engagement; hence, producing excellent academic, social, and emotional gains. With this project, I am seeking to obtain wobble chairs and soft seats in order to replace the traditional metal chairs and hard floor in our independent center stations. The wobble chairs and soft seats will be utilized by the children throughout the day. Upon receiving donations, I will provide the students more flexible seating choices. The more choices the students have, the more they will feel invested and responsible with their learning. The students will be so excited to see our classroom transition!
