I will have twenty-five third grade students in my class. I teach all subjects. My elementary school serves over 700 students in grades PreK-fifth in a rural area of Arkansas. Approximately 45% of the students in my school are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The economic and cultural diversity at my elementary school is rich.
Students are not only economically diverse, but they are also culturally diverse. I am excited to teach my students this year. The sky is the limit with my students!
My Project
I would love to be able to give my students options for flexible seating in the classroom. I have 25 third graders, who love to wiggle, bounce, and move. I would love to be able to give them seating that helps them get that energy out, while also staying focused and comfortable.
Throughout my years of teaching, I have noticed that when students are comfortable, they tend to focus better.
By giving them these flexible seating options, I am able to increase their focused time on learning through giving them an outlet for their physical energy. I love the idea of choice, and by giving students choices, we enable them to learn what works best for them! I would love it if my students had more choices like this in the classroom!
