I teach 4th grade students in a public elementary setting. Our school is rich in community, which I foster in our everyday routines and rituals in my class. I have a broad level of students and their abilities from gifted to SPED and everything in between. In my class, we continue to build a community around what we have in common and our shared experiences.
My students are creative, self-driven, and imaginative.
I allow students to explore their thinking and creative ways of problem-solving. I love to see their excitement about learning, and want them to have a comfortable space that promotes learning and feeling comfortable!
My Project
Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Right now students have some flexible seating choices in the classroom, but I would love to be able to give them more options for seating, which will help them to explore more options that help them to learn best! I would like stools, balance ball chairs, coat hooks, and a table.
Allowing my students to have a say in where they sit and what type of seat they sit at is necessary for making sure that the students feel comfortable and more engaged in their learning.
It has been my experience that a student who is comfortable and has options in the classroom, is a student who is happy to be there with a positive mindset each and every day.
