There are 30 third grade students that will soon be entering my classroom in September for the first time. These students will be experiencing a new teacher, new classroom and new curriculum quickly. These students need support in order to be successful in their new grade, and new classroom.
These students come from all different backgrounds and all different abilities.
They need new supplies and resources to share as they work together to make a classroom environment of their own.
My Project
Flexible seating has become a new trend within the education world. This style of seating in my classroom will give students the ability to sit comfortably within the classroom. Sitting comfortably, and being able to move around, keeps a child more focused on their academics and learning, rather than focusing on trying to sit still at their assigned desk.
Tolerance plays a large role in my classroom.
Flexible seating, including wobble chairs and dorm chairs, will teach students how others may learn differently than us, but that every child has the ability to learn and they will do so in their own way.
This seating will prove to students that not "one size fits all" and that we need to be "flexible" on accepting others for who they are.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
