My Project
Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work students move to various locations in my classroom. 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. We had a fun bench, but the leg collapsed. 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.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The couch comes with moveable ottomons so that it can be moved throughout the classroom for more choice in seating. The waterfall and prints are being used to make the room more astetically pleasing.
I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
