My Students

My students are full of energy, questions, and a love for learning! They thrive off of doing hands-on, active, and engaging projects that allow them an opportunity to learn for themselves. They come to school every day ready to learn! We foster a very comfortable and safe classroom where students are able to take risks and try their best without fear of making mistakes.

My students have a need to move, which has encouraged me to learn about flexible and alternative seating.

My Project

I am seeing a growing need for students to have the ability to move into a smart spot that will enhance their learning. I already do a variety of learning activities, but students now a days have such a large variety of learning needs that are not being met by sitting in a desk all day. These optional seating areas will allow students to take control of their own learning by being somewhere that works for them!

Students need to have control of their own learning in order for them to be successful in their learning.

I am hoping this change in my classroom will allow them to do that.
