My Students

My students are curious, imaginative, and creative kids who come into the learning platform every day with endless energy and limitless questions. They just want to learn and have fun with their new community whether it is in the physical or virtual classroom setting.

My school is populated with approximately 230 children, 60% of our school population receives free or reduced lunch.

My Chinese immersion classroom has a mixture of one-third non-English speakers, one-third bilingual students, and one-third non-Chinese speakers. Due to the budget cuts throughout the years, our classroom resources are only available when purchased by ourselves. I believe that to be an effective teacher, I need to invest in my job and provide the necessities to make myself an effective teacher, as well as make learning fun and engaging for my students.

My Project

In today's contemporary classroom, traditional student desks are being converted into the 21st Century flexible seating arrangement. With this type of non-traditional table arrangements, the types of chairs need to be changed as well.

Flexible seating will require new chairs for students to get the variations of either sitting in a wobble chair or a low cushion chair.

Each child stay focus differently. In a traditional classroom, all students were expected to stay in one spot or in one chair. However, we are learning that some children can not stay seated in a traditional chair and table or in one rug spot. While others learn better sitting on the ground, some need to keep their bodies moving in a wobble chair and while some need to stand up to function, others need a traditional chair. With the flexible seating, students would rotate to a different type of seating throughout the day where they can choose something to suit their individual needs. Please help me convert my traditional seating classroom into a 21st Century flexible seating classroom.
