My classroom is full of 24 amazing 4th grade students who are tenacious learners, hungry for knowledge. They are filled with a joy and excitement that cannot be matched! My students are inquisitive and are excited about being the "big kids" of the school. From the moment they walk in the school to the very last second of the day my students are learning and absorbing so many things.
Our school is one of the smaller schools in the district, but what we lack in students we make up with school pride and love of learning!
My students come from a variety of different economic backgrounds with over 60% of our students receiving free or reduced price lunch. Many of my students have not life experiences many of us see as "typical". It is my job to even the playing field for all of my students regardless of their background or life experiences.
My Project
My students and I live in our classroom for 7 hours of the day. Because they spend so much of their time in the classroom, it needs to be a place they feel they have some ownership in and a place they feel excited to come to every morning.
When students feel ownership of the classroom, they respect the room and the people in it more.
Flexible seating gives students more ownership in the classroom and it also lets them choose a seating option that is right for them and their learning style. When this project is complete, the students will be able to pick where they want to sit in the classroom and what they would like to sit on.
