My Project

I would like to incorporate flexible seating in my classroom so that the students have the ability to choose where they work best. I am noticing that the days of a traditional classroom are changing and I would like to be able to accommodate the changing needs of my students.

My goal is to make my classroom flexible and more accommodating for the students to choose how they want to learn.

I think it will help students who

May have a difficult time sitting in a traditional classroom environment.

My current group of students have taught me to be more open minded as to how they learn best. It is my plan to create a more hands on, student driven classroom and to facilitate their needs and to focus on how they learn best.

Mrs. Ballone will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 28.
