My Kindergarten classroom has 26 fun, active and eager to learn five and six year olds. They are a kind group of students who exhibit care for each other, and are especially excited to learn when movement and music are involved. My hope is that my students are excited to come to school, get to express themselves creatively, and are actively engaged in hands-on learning.
They are so excited about everything that they accomplish and love to learn new skills.They thrive in small groups and love hands-on learning.
My school is focused on creating innovative and creative learning experiences that encourage critical thinking and exploration. Many of my students come from low income households, and face diverse struggles outside of school. I strive to create a safe, brave space where all my student's feel valued and important.
My Project
Young children have an extremely difficult time sitting still. These flexible seats will allow them to move appropriately while also remaining on task. Our classroom has a few floor cushions and all the students love using them. We can use wobbly stools, yoga balls, and more floor cushions as seating options. Flexible seating such as wobbly stools and floor cushions will enable my students to sit comfortably, while still allowing for movement and getting those "wiggles" out as they focus on their work.
My classroom environment is set up so that every part of the room can be used for learning.
The students will be able to choose which seating option is most comfortable for them. They may also choose to change their seat depending on the type of assignment. The flexible seating option will help with classroom management and small group work.
