Flexible Seating=Maximum Learning

My students need comfortable, flexible seating to maximize their math learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Huber's classroom raised $938

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach in the Chicago Public School system on the Northwest Side of the city of Chicago. I have 82 third graders that come into my classroom for math every day. In math class, my students learn to take risks, try new things, and do their best. My students love coming to math class because they know that they can take risks and be themselves. Students take ownership of their learning and become the ones who decide how they will learn best. My students thrive through making their own decisions in the classroom and in their learning.

My Project

Flexible seating encourages students to make decisions that benefit their learning style the most. Flexible seating has given students the ability to move, collaborate, communicate with their peers, and develop critical thinking skills. These flexible seating materials will allow my students independence in choosing a seating area that makes them the most comfortable and helps them to do their best learning. My students currently choose where in the room they would like to work and these materials will allow them many more comfortable options. The more comfortable that students are while they are learning, the more growth they will show. I differentiate our math curriculum to best suit the needs of each student, why not differentiate their seating options, too? When students are allowed choice in their learning, they become much more engaged and begin to take control of their education. The students become invested in the classroom and their own learning. Watching them grow as they do this and the pride that they show in making these decisions for themselves is why I teach. The seating options that this project funds will allow this to happen!
