My Students

The students in my first grade classroom are between the ages of 6 and 7 years old. They primarily come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and attend a school that is located in a poor, rural area of South Carolina. Many students come from a single-parent household, in which the parent works more than one job and/or works double shifts. Because of this, the students spend a lot of time with older siblings and/or relatives after school, while parents are working to make ends meet. Our students are hungry to learn about the world and each other.

My Project

All students learn differently. Some like to sit in a traditional space while others do better stretched out on the floor or sitting on a comfy couch. Last year, my students received wobble stools to use during our small group time. I saw a drastic improvement in their ability to remain focused while also being allowed to "wobble". After seeing the change in my students, I am eager to add more flexible seating options.

Not all students enjoy the four-legged desk chair or sitting at their individual desks.

I know my students will enjoy having the option to sit in a comfy cushioned seat at a floor level table as opposed to the traditional learning setting. This flex space will be sure to have a positive impact on my students' performance in all subject areas!
