I have an amazing group of fourth graders this year! They consist of a diverse group of kids with many different learning styles. I have learners from all cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning abilities. While it may seem like a large variety, put them all together and you have a perfect class!
My kids work cooperatively with their peers to help guide them on assignments and walk them through strategies to be successful.
Every student in my class knows their role and holds themselves accountable for that role, whether it be a timekeeper, a focus friend, a peer tutor, or just a cheerleader.
Despite our differences, we always strive for success, we never give up, and we know that mistakes make us better learners. We are a team, and we start each day ready and eager to learn!
My Project
In these new and uncertain times, many things have changed in the classroom. One of the biggest changes is the amount of time students spend at their seats. Because of new socially distanced guidelines, students spend most of the day, including lunch, in their seats.
The typical classroom chairs are hard and uncomfortable, so I am trying to provide more flexible seating options to keep my kiddos engaged and comfortable throughout the day.
Ergo Seats and Tilted Seats will allow kids to wiggle and wobble while working at their desks, all while staying socially distanced from their peers. In addition to being comfortable throughout the day, research has shown that flexible seating can boost academic performance. Ever since implementing flexible seating choices in my classroom, I have seen an increase in student achievement.
Please help me provide my classroom with these amazing seats!
