My Students
Have you ever been in a meeting where you painfully watched the clock tick second by second until the end? No one likes to listen to someone talk at them. The same can be said for students at our school. They are passionate and love to move, explore, and work together. The students work best when they are able to drive their own learning through discovery and an interactive learning environment. These kiddos are from a small rural community where families work hard to make ends meet. Some are faced with trauma and ACE's that make school a safe place to be away from it all. Creating a fun and engaging learning experience for these sweet students every day is my goal because their passion and love of learning will make them do great things.
My Project
If you give them control in their learning they do great things. As soon as students are made curious and we get their minds going, they are motivated to get to work on their own projects and activities independently. This is much more fun and engaging when they can take a seat in a wobble chair, floor cushion, yoga ball or sit up straight on a stool. By allowing them the flexibility to find a spot and seat that works for them, they get to take charge of their education and decide what helps them best to focus.
Let Me Wiggle, Let Me Focus is a project that lets students move when they need to move and not be restricted by a standard classroom chair.
I have watched a room of students hone in their focus in a matter of seconds when they can choose a seat that they want. I have seen a world of difference when kids can sit on a wobble cushion or special chair even during whole group instruction. Their need to move is focused on their chair or seat rather than pestering others around them and it allows them the ability to focus on what they are learning rather than sitting still.
Right now, the room has 5 coveted options including a couple donut chairs, one wobble stool, and a couple yoga balls. The students LOVE these options but I do not have the means to supply the whole class with alternative seating. That means I am limited to offering the seats we do have based on the highest need.
Team Taylor would love to have a room full of options for all students to have the freedom to choose.
