Help me give my students a rich, fun and inviting environment that supports movement and comfort with pillows with inspirational words, balance balls, stools, and table trays.
My students are an energetic, hilarious, and loving group of 3rd graders. I teach at a Title 1 school, in the Twin Cities Metro, where many of my students are English Language Learners. School is their safe place, where they come to learn, have fun, explore and engage in academics.
They thrive during hands-on project based learning, where they can move their bodies, and can get their hands dirty.
Last year we learned so much building a beautiful garden! My students are a talkative bunch, who embrace movement!
My Project
Flexible seating is a chance for students to take responsibility in their learning and their behavior. When I walk into any establishment, I have a choice in where I sit. The same should be in the classroom. My classroom will offer many options for students to consider when learning.
They can choose from bouncing on balance balls, rocking on stools, sitting on the floor with an inspirational pillow, relaxing on the couch, or leaning on the standing table when entering our classroom.
It's imperative that this choice is theirs. This choice will be made daily, enhancing their decision making process, and honing in on what they need that day to make it as successful as possible.
