This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I teach 30 lovely kindergarteners all in one classroom with another teacher in the classroom. We are a very active class and always on the run learning new things every day. Our class has a wide variety of students. Some of my students are learning to read, write, and count, while some of their classmates are learning to imitate sounds or hold a paintbrush.
Our group loves to play outside, learn new games, and boogie to a sweet tune.
With many kids coming from different lifestyles our children do not have the privilege of having fun activities at home.
My Project
Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices 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, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
