We are the farm friends class, which is a first grade team teaching classroom. Our students love being in a family environment in our classroom. We are a rural school near the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Our kiddos are eager to learn new things each day! We are a low income school, but that does not stop our students from striving to be successful learners. We love to use small groups and stations daily to grow our future leaders.
My Project
We would like to introduce flexible seating into our classroom for a more optimal learning classroom. Students in our classroom are moving around the room constantly throughout the day as they go from carpet time, to independent work time, to stations. We want the kiddos to be comfortable in a room where they spend the majority of their day.
Flexible seating would allow our students to choose the seat that works best for their learning.
The wobble stools and balance balls we have chosen will allow students this choice. We know that when our students are comfortable they will be more focused on their work, and that's what it's all about!
