Help me give my students enjoy more flexible seating arrangements. 8th graders can be crammed in the traditional classroom desk. This allows more room and workspace directly on the desk to collaborate.
Each day in my class differs from one day to the next. Typically, students are introduced to a new concept and after a couple of days of discussion or close reads, we experiment hands-on for greater comprehension.
My students are wonderful kids who have challenges but have decided to face those challenges head on.
They have taken the bull by the horns and have taken an active roll in pursuing historical content knowledge. My students have embraced the journey of a new school system with limited resources as we build the district. The students come from diverse backgrounds and each contributes something to the class that is unique.
My Project
Middle school students are learning to be more independent and flexible in their learning and setting. I desire to have a classroom that will allow my students to freely chose their seat based on self awareness of their learning environment and what best fits their comfort level and peers to work with.
By adding additional seating to my classroom, students will have more freedom and flexibility to chose their own level of comfort and environment to learn that best suites them and interact with one another through peer to peer engagement.
I am requesting dry erase tables for students to be able to collaborate and enjoy a roomier seat for their growing bodies. Some of my students are over 6' and could benefit from not using the traditional classroom desk.
