I teach fourth grade in a public K-6 an elementary school. My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds. I try to connect with my students and help them realize their own potential. My job is to provide them with an environment filled with all of the resources that they will need to reach their goals and explore their interests.
My students are diverse, thoughtful and inquisitive!
They come to school every day excited to learn, ready to explore and to work with their friends. They are just coming into their own as independent learners and thinkers.
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. Making sure students are comfortable is a key component in motivation. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work when they are given a choice of learning spot in the room.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The wobble stools will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed!
