First grade at our school is such an exciting group of mixed interests, abilities, and goals. Some of my students are learning the foundations to read, write, and count, while others are engaging in activities to expand their personal reading and writing goals. Our group loves to play outside, learn new games, and boogie to a fun tune.
In this class, we are R.E.A.L.
We pride ourselves in being responsible, engaged, accountable leaders! We pledge to be a “bucket filler” wherever we go.
Our primary school is unique in that all kindergarteners and first graders in the county attend.
My Project
I will use the multiple seating options to engage my students in learning on a new level. Most of my students perform much better on the floor, in my rocking chair, at the teacher's desk, or standing in the writing center. Movement is key for this first grade class! The majority of my students have a hard time sitting still in their seat; they prefer to put their legs under them or stand and move while they are practicing reading foundations or working on math strategies. The Wobble Chairs and Flex-Space Bundle will give my students a safe and fun level to learn while preventing a student from rocking backwards in the old school chairs.
