Students in my classroom are all language learners in addition to content learners. Some are learning Spanish as a second language while maintaining or improving their English and some are learning English as a second language while maintaining or improving their Spanish.
My students work collaboratively the majority of the day.
There are lots of inquiry groups in math and the sciences as well as during our literacy times throughout the day. Students in my room work in flexible groups. This means that they may not work with the same person or even group for very much time at all. This also means that there is a lot of moving and changing of seats in my room. The flexibility of the grouping allows students to learn from each other and be flexible in their interactions with their peers.
My Project
Your donation to this project will help students in my classroom maintain focus. The style of these "chairs" is made to allow students to "wobble" which allows them to continuously be moving within their own space. The release of energy through movement allows the child to focus energies on the tasks they are completing throughout the day. comfortable flexible seating. We currently only use the seating stand-by of plastic four legged chairs. These new seating options will provide students with varied options to choose from throughout the school day.
These new seating options will be used flexibly throughout the school day and classroom.
Students will always be able to choose their type of "chair" that will aide them in doing their best learning.
