My Students

I work in a Title I school district with a diverse group of kids. These students come from diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Most love to come to school and strive to learn and improve every day.

Many of these kids love to read and explore the world through science.

They are always looking for new things to explore around them or looking for new books to spark their imagination. They are a great class with an amazing sense of adventure.

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.

My students are more engaged when given a choice of where to work in the classroom.

The products I have chosen will help my students by giving them more comfortable places to sit around the classroom while working. The lap desks will also give them a larger work space for their workbooks.
