My Students

Each child has an amazing and unique learning style. Every student has their own special character and personality traits that make them so perfectly unique. I find them too be silly, loving, and brilliant in their own ways. Flexible seating will allow them to be comfortable. Comfortable students are calm, focused, and productive.

Evolving the classroom space to meet students’ individual needs impacts how they learn, how they interact, and the entire classroom experience.

Help me make my classroom effective!

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take control over their own learning. I honestly believe this is a crucial life skill! We, as adults, are productive in different environments. Some of us work better sitting comfortably in a cozy chair, while others are more productive being able to Stand, wiggle, or stretch. So, why do we make our little ones sit in hard, cold seats for 7 hours a day?

When students are uncomfortable, they are distracted and unproductive.

Flexible seating allows students to find comfortable positions throughout the classroom. Comfortable students are calm, focused, and productive. I believe in each child! I am requesting a couch, lamos, soft seats and more.
