My Students
My kindergarten class is made up of a diverse group of four and five-year olds attending a public Title I school in Richmond, VA. Due to COVID-19 and socio-economic barriers that disproportionately impact the Black community, many of my students did not attend preschool and are just now beginning their in-person school experience.
The bright young minds that fill my classroom deserve a learning environment that will inspire, empower, and engage each of them.
Our school's vision is to create a neighborhood school highly regarded by the community, where our learners thrive academically, socially, and emotionally in a supportive and cohesive community, and I am determined to ensure that my classroom has the resources and supplies needed to achieve this.
My Project
Even in a general education classroom, every student needs something different for it to truly be their least restrictive environment. I do not want my students' learning to be limited by a lack of seating options when working in small groups or independently. Flexible seating is a way I hope to meet the individual needs of each of my kindergarteners.
Four and five-year-olds deserve the ability to release energy in a way that does not impede their learning.
With your support, my students will be able to opt to sit in a wobble chair or flexible floor seat when working in small group centers or independently. This will give them a safe and healthy way to self-regulate their bodies to help them focus, learn, and thrive in my classroom.
