This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Reading is good for our brains! and adding flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Creating an environment where students want to read. I have noticed that when my students are able to move around the room during independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, or sitting under tables with table trays. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.
Not only does flexible seating allow students to be more engaged and take charge within their work but it also allows students to be more comfortable in the classroom. Making it easier to learn which is an essential component. My hope is that with these flexible seating additions to our classroom it will help my students become more engaged in our intervention work. I have also added a white board paper sheet to help students improve their writing skills when working with me, and a pencil sharpener to replace our's in the classroom. As it is not working well and will help improve our productivity to get our pencils sharpened quicker and get back to work time.
