Help me give my students comfortable places to collaborate. We are making the most of our reading and writing time together and need more spaces to create. The stools will create more safe collaboration spaces in the classroom.

My Students
Tucked away on the third floor of a picturesque school building, lives my sixth grade ELA classroom. The sunlight splashes onto the desks, plants, library, and chairs early in the morning. In my classroom, you will find inspiration all around. Inspiring goals created by my students line the walls and resources are plentiful for my mixed-ability classes. The classroom is the center of our learning: it is the place where dreams are envisioned, plans are made and literacy skills are attained on a daily basis.
My students are empowered, brilliant, and motivated.
They come to middle school with a lot of questions, opinions, and strengths. In ELA, my students explore ideas, push themselves as readers and writers and take on the responsibility to say something meaningful with their pencils. They come to school excited to achieve their goals and work toward improving their abilities. My classroom is a hub of creativity and inspiration!
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 tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. 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.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their reading and writing 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.
I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
