My Project

Elementary students are young and still getting to know their learning style. Providing students with various options for student learning will allow them to be comfortable and take control of their learning. With the option to create a flexible learning environment, I can ensure that students will be able to feel comfortable, safe, and focused in the classroom. Flexible seating allows students to become self-aware and take charge of their learning environment.

All students do not all learn the same and are not created equal.

With flexible seating it can offer differentiation and motivate students to learn. When students are comfortable they are able to be more engaged and maintain their focus. The standing desk gives students the option to stand and learn. It also allows them to move around the classroom. The cushions, chairs, and stools will allow the students to sit where they want comfortably in the classroom. With the clipboard/ whiteboards, it will be easy for students to work out a problem and show their work quickly. Having all of these options will allow the students to choose flexible seating to help focus their energy on their work rather than their distractions.
