My students need an oval carpet for flexible seating and class meetings. Sitting still all day is not good for anyone! Providing alternate seating options in the classroom is another important component.

My Students
Second graders are the best! They are creative, curious, and funny. There is never a dull moment with them! In addition to content, they are learning when to listen and when to be social, how to collaborate and cooperate, and learning how to be independent, motivated learners. This is a lot! As a teacher, it is my job to make sure students are enjoying learning so that they continue to love school and becoming lifelong learners. One way that I can do this is by creating an environment that is comfortable, yet conducive to learning. The materials that I am requesting will help my students remain engaged and motivated learners, while providing lots of practice for the skills I am teaching.
Students need to move!
I've been reading and researching flexible seating and feel this would really benefit my students and prepare them with 21st century skills. Flexible seating allows for movement and social interaction while learning.
My Project
While I often have my class engage in movement breaks, seating options in the classroom is another important component. Students ask to sit in various parts of the room to work. I have small rugs and some comfy disc chairs, but a large oval rug will give students more space to spread out while they work.
The carpet will also be used as a class meeting spot!
This summer I took a course called The Responsive Classroom. We will use the carpet to hold meetings, learn to socialize appropriately, and set a positive tone for the day.
These two important components to my students' day will help them to be healthy, active learners.
