My Students

I work with an amazing group of first graders who love learning new things! My classroom is made up of a very diverse group of kiddos including English Language Learners and students with special needs. They are all so unique. Every child is a scholar and they work really hard to be the best they can be!

I really enjoy teaching them life skills along with academics.

In my classroom, I have the standard student chairs plus a few floor rockers. Many of my students struggle sitting in the standard chairs because their bodies aren't comfortable. They all want to use the 3 rockers and are productive and engaged when sitting in them. I want my students to have the choice of where and how to sit as well as who to sit by and work with. I also want them to realize their needs as a learner and teach them to advocate for their needs. By offering flexible seating, they have more choices to be the best learner they can be.

My Project

Every student is a unique individual. They are each built differently, tall, short, strong core, weak core, energetic, calm. One standard size chair can not meet each child's individual needs for comfort, sensory input or learning style. My students need more choices to meet their individual learning styles and body types. Providing more flexible seating options would create an environment that would help accommodate individual needs. Every student benefits from the use of alternative seating because when you are comfortable and your needs are met you are more focused and engaged during work time. Sitting in traditional chairs all day isn't always conducive to learning.
