Flexible Seating-A Choice for All Learners

My students need rug spaces, wobble chairs, floor seats, and balance balls. These items will allow for student choice of seating within the classroom environment.

My Students

Every year I greet over thirty eager to learn youngsters. My students come from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. The students are kind, hard-working, and inquisitive. They display a number of interests, strengths, and challenges.

Our school focuses on STEM-based learning.

We have earned the title of a National Blue Ribbon School.

I am always looking for new and advanced ways to meet the needs of my students. I have decided to dive into the world of flexible seating.

My Project

My goal, as a teacher, is to create a flexible and collaborative learning environment. If this project is funded, my students will have many seating options within our classroom. Whether it is a comfy rug or wobble seat, the students will have a choice.

Students thrive when they have a voice and a choice in their learning!

Students can choose the environment in which they complete their work. During math or language arts, a student may choose to complete work individually, or with the support of a partner at lap desks. With this project funded, there are no limits to the learning!
