My Students

I have the pleasure of working in a small, rural school and community. My 17 third and fourth graders are passionate about learning and are fortunate to be part of such a strong district.

It is my number one priority to make my classroom a great learning environment for my students and provide resources that will help them be successful.

Many of my students would benefit from flexible seating. The materials on this list will create a selection of seating so each student can stay focused and comfortable.

My Project

Imagine being in a room with 17 other people while trying to read, write, and focus on the task at hand. There's not much room for you to move around and you can hear everything others are doing because you have someone right next to you on each side. How long could you work before becoming distracted or even frustrated?

Flexible seating elevates student engagement.

It is no secret that children need to move. Flexible seating will allow my students to work in a comfortable environment. Students need to constructively release energy or they can easily become distracted or become a disruption to the learning environment. Floor seats, bands for chairs, balance balls, comfy pillows, and wobble chairs will help ALL of my students do their best work and stay calm, focused, and productive.
