My students need five Hokki Stools- comfortable, flexible seating for our technology table, so they can read e-books, publish writing, and conduct research on laptops.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
During our literacy workshop, our classroom looks like a bustling cafe! Students are curled up on cushions with their independent books, at their desks jotting in their notebooks, and over at our technology table perusing e-books and Internet research.
My students are forty-five 5th graders, from all over Washington D.C.
They are all working hard to get up to grade level in their reading, and learning more about their preferences and skills as readers and reviewers of books. Many speak a language other than English at home, and therefore benefit especially from the read-aloud support offered by e-books.
My Project
I envision our technology table as being a comfortable, peaceful, and productive place for students to be. Here, they pick up where they left off in an exciting e-book, or conduct Internet research on our latest Social Studies focus or project of their choosing. I also hope to make this area more comfortable for typing and publishing their writing.
Currently, the only hiccup in our productive workshop routine is the dragging of chairs over to the tech table.
I aim to designate five comfortable stools for this area to make it easier for students to get started right away. I've requested Hokki stools to make it easier to scoot these stools in different arrangements for independent and partner work, and to accommodate the wiggles!
