I work at a Title I school located in Tacoma, Washington. My class is filled with bright students from diverse backgrounds who come to school excited to learn every day.
My students are future engineers, teachers, and politicians, and we are working hard in fourth grade to prepare for college, career, and citizenship.
Because of our diverse backgrounds, my students have diverse strengths and needs. I work hard to plan exciting activities and experiences to meet their needs every day.
My Project
How often do you sit on a hard chair at a desk when you're doing challenging work? I never do! I do my best creative and intellectual work sitting on the couch with my feet up.
Giving students flexible seating options will help make them more comfortable during long and demanding school days.
More comfort means more learning. I wouldn't expect an engineer to sit in a too-small-for-them desk for 6 hours a day doing hard work, and I don't expect it from my students either! While my fourth graders are hard at work they move flexibly from their desks to the floor, and having additional tools to make them more comfortable would be very beneficial.
We need portable lap desks and stools to help us be comfortable in different areas of the classroom while we learn.
