My Students

How do you make your classroom a place that students want to come to learn? You make it inviting and comfortable! Creating meaningful connections with students along with having a classroom environment that enables creativity, collaboration, and comfort are all pieces that help students to be more successful. Allowing students to have the flexibility and choice in how they learn has shown positive affect on student learning. My students come from all walks of life. I want my classroom to be an inviting place that allows students to be the best they can be!

My Project

As this year is starting, I realize that my students will really benefit with being able to choose a place where they sit during work time. They will choose a type of seating, and a spot in the room that promotes their best learning! My students love to stand, sit on the floor, and sit in alternate seats I have available in the classroom. I have noticed that when kids work on the floor, they are using clipboards, but that doesn't allow for them to have their materials all within reach.

The Surf Portable Lap Desks will allow my students to move around the room while still being able to have all their materials with them to complete their work.

The stools are another option for seating in my room. I have a set of stools in my room that I use for my small group table. When we are not in small groups, I let them use these stools. It would be nice to have them available to my students at all times of the day.
