My Students

Our young students at Mayo Elementary are enthusiastic learners who love to engage with their peers in all areas of the classroom. Learning for five and six-year-olds does not happen at stationary desks. These learners are on the move all day! Our three classrooms ( 37 students) are filled with diverse learners with different social/emotional and academic needs.

Help us provide movement opportunities and flexible seating choices for our youngest students!

You may find writers at a table, writing on a whiteboard, or spread out on the floor working on a mural. When working at a table, traditional school chairs afford little opportunity for movement during learning activities. Moving and exploring--that's when great things happen!

My Project

As kindergarten teachers we know the importance of providing our young students with opportunities for movement as they engage in their learning. Throughout the school day, students transition from whole group instruction to small group learning.

Our students love to find their own special nook to read with their book bags or a bright corner to engage in a math game or write a story.

Our eager readers love to engage in book talk while they wiggle in their seats. Providing flexible seating choices for our kindergarten classrooms will help all our children, especially our students with attention challenges, find success every day!
