My Students

My students are a hard working group! They come in to school every day eager and ready to learn. Teacher's at our school work everyday to give them the opportunities they need to succeed.

Our district is one of the most diverse in the county, and we strive to make learning equitable for all.

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently, my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them.

These supplies will give my students greater freedom in their working space, and allow for greater comfort!

When students are working comfortably, they will be more engaged in their learning.
