My Project

I have requested a number of different supplies. All with the goal of keeping students engaged and motivated during lessons.

Flexible seating and student choice allows students to take charge of their learning and make the decisions that work best for them.

During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, have fun writing objects and choices on how they would like to work out problems, they tend to be more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.
