My students are full of energy and need an opportunity to bounce, wiggle, and move quietly and without distracting their peers while they learn.
We are working hard to incorporate lots of movement and working together, all while having lots of project-based learning.
Having flexible seating would really help my kiddos stay focused and engaged in their projects. They love to investigate and dig deeper into problems. Working as a team is very important and a life skill that we focus on as well!
My Project
I would love to incorporate flexible seating into my classroom. My kids are so energetic and LOVE to move around the classroom. I am hoping to get some tables for our classroom and some seating to go with those tables.
I teach a 4th grade classroom, where many of my students are growing quickly!
They are cramped into desks that have the chair attached and are unable to sit comfortably. Many of them choose to stand, or move around to be more comfortable.
Imagine having your chair placed for you, and unable to move about in your work space throughout the day. Flexible seating would help us tremendously and keep students focused with the ability to choose their seating and move about, in their desks, with out distracting their classmates. This would help create a much more successful classroom for my kids this year and years to come!
