Help me give my students flexible seating options! I am at a brand new school. I left a lot of my flexible seating behind at my old school. My students love flexible seating but need more options.
My students are hard-working, inquisitive, and interested learners. They are the most empathetic group of kids I have ever met. They come to school everyday ready to learn. They are kind, thoughtful, and caring to one another and to other students in the school.
They love to read, and love to learn math!
They make me so proud each and everyday. I love to be their teacher. I look forward to seeing their smiling faces every morning as they come in and give me a hug!
They are some of the hardest working kids I have ever met. I want to give them the best learning environment possible. I have limited flexible seating options in my classroom. I would love to give my students more of a variety of seating options.
My Project
I am not going to lie I was hesitant for flexible seating when I started it three years ago, after a couple of years of old school desks and chairs. However, I was surprised. Kids take ownership of their learning. They have a choice of where they get to work. I was a changed woman. I love flexible seating, just like my students do. It allows them a choice on how to learn, where they want to learn. Basically, it allows them to choose where would "I learn best." It holds them accountable. I would be an advocate for flexible seating. I need these materials because I do not have enough options for my students to choose where they sit. These will give my students more opportunities to choose where they get to sit to learn!
