My Project

With a variety of flexible seating options, students will be able to work in a collaborative, positive and enriching learning environment. They will learn how to take ownership of their workspace and learning needs, while immersed in our classroom. A flexible seating classroom provides multiple opportunities for students to self-regulate their social and emotional needs and offers student choice. This environment is designed for students to work cooperatively, while inspiring all learners to set and achieve personal growth goals. Additionally, I have requested materials for students to utilize each day, like pencils, Expo markers, paper, and STEM activities. These materials are essential for a successful learning environment.
