Creating Comfort in Ms. Griffin's Class

Help me give my students flexible seating! I believe an atmosphere my students feel comfortable in is going to be the best atmosphere for them to learn in.

My Students

I will be my students third teacher this year. I want to make my room the most comfortable and welcoming place it can be for them. My students are creative and thoughtful young minds. I want to do whatever I can to get them the resources they deserve.

My Project

Flexible seating is a wonderful way to encourage students to read in the classroom. I have seen through experience that flexible seating can be a wonderful incentive for students to encourage reading and literacy skills.

Flexible seating would also be a wonderful way for my students to work around the room in partners in a non-traditional way.

Flexible seating allows students the opportunity to make a choice about their learning and how they learn best.

I have seen first hand how impactful flexible seating can be for students. This allows students the ability to have autonomy over how they learn.
