My Students
The students I get to work with on a daily basis are full of life and tell plenty of jokes. We love to have fun and make our learning that way too!
Our favorite part about learning is learning about each other.
Every day we talk in the morning about our lives and there is always a great connection among students and myself. We respect each other and want success for one another.
These students are eager and willing to try just about anything in the name of fun and learning. This group is truly amazing and continue to work hard for their education.
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 on a pillow. 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 wobble stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! The colorful and inviting stools pair nicely with the comfy floor seats and the doughnut chairs that will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.
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!
