My students need flexible seating options like the black rocker chairs, the wobble cushions and the lap desks to fully explore what kind of seating works the best for them in our classroom.
I teach a fantastic group of 5th graders. We have the largest class in the school, which gives us the opportunity to learn how to work with different people and learning styles. My students are always excited to learn new things and they have taken charge of their learning this year. This ownership of their education, has allowed each student to push themselves to learn, grow and share with each other in new and positive ways.
My students thrive on a challenge and have met every opportunity this year with positive attitudes and a willingness to try new things.
We have implemented several new things in our class this year including flexible seating arrangements and a self paced learning system which has allowed my students to experience a personalized learning environment that focuses on each of their unique personalities and learning styles.
My Project
We started using a flexible seating arrangement in my classroom this year. The students love being able to choose to sit at a table, on the floor or at a standing desk depending on which helps them focus better in class.
Now, that we have started flexible seating, I am requesting additional materials so that all students can have a chance to try different types of seating: rocker chairs, floor desks, cube seats, yoga balls and lap desks.
When my students are able to choose to sit or stand using different seats, this choice allows my students to have an ownership of their own personal learning style.
Please consider our project and help our classroom expand the ways that our students can learn. Thank you!
