My Students
Our school is Title 1 (area of high poverty) school serving children from Kindergarten through fifth grade.
Being in a military community, each student comes to our school with unique needs and styles of learning.
It is extremely important to me to meet the needs of each of my students by incorporating engaging learning activities that address every learning style.
My students are dreamers, thinkers, talkers, and explorers. They are mini inspirations and peer role models to themselves and others around them. They are budding ambassadors, world travelers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and teachers. They are our future and I want to give them a great start to their long successful career.
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. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different height tables, sitting on fitness balls, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board and a yoga mat. 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.
The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The high metal stools will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables but will still allow some movement. The dog cushions will be used as floor pillows and will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.
The small area rug will be used in my reading corner for students to gather to read, partner share, and work on relationships.
