Aspirational Organization!

Help me give my students more classroom organization and flexible seating options to enhance their learning environment!

This project expired on May 3, 2023.

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 clipboards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clipboard. 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 noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work, They also need more opportunities to organize their work when it is completed!

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options and taking ownership of their organizing habits.
