My Project

I am new to teaching 5th grade and I want our classroom to have flexible seating and other items in the classroom that will aide my students in becoming more independent. Many of the students that are in this classroom are language learners and communicating with others is such a large part of our learning at SPMA.

By allowing my students flex seating places to sit and work together they will able to collaborate and become more independent learners.

By giving my students places for mail and material holders they will learn to respect their tools for learning and how to best organize them for their learning.
