My Students

Our fifth grade class consists of 16 students who show up each day ready to learn something new. We live in a small rural farming community in North Dakota. Our K-12 school has less than 250 students.

My students love hands-on, active, and engaging projects that allow them to think outside of the box.

Evolving my classroom space to meet students' individual needs impacts how they learn, interact, and the entire classroom experience. I have witnessed my students thrive when given alternative working spaces, and would love to offer them more choices in the future.

My Project

My students share that flexible seating is more comfortable, helps get their ‘wiggles’ out, and assists in focus. They enjoy being able to choose seats that fit their mood: relax and spread out on a gymnastics mat, read a book in a cozy chair, and sit at different levels. I find that the mobility of flexible seating nurtures collaboration, teaches self-regulation, and motivates metacognition.

By donating to our project you are supporting the needs of these students and creating a happier learning environment.

My students will be using this seating throughout the year as they conduct science experiments, learn about the history of the United States, and write stories to inspire others.
