My Students

My students are special in so many ways. First, the population of our school falls into the low socioeconomic category. All of our students receive free breakfast and lunch due to this percentage. My students have the desire to enhance their learning environment and build a strong community. My students want a classroom environment that thrives in comfort and safety. Our students are eager to learn and eager to please. They thrive in classroom environments that are organized, structured, and give the students a choice in their own learning process.

My goal this year is to create an environment where every students receives what they need to be successful.

I am moving away from traditional seating options to allow students to choose what works best for them. As an adult, I have a difficult time sitting still for long periods of time and become distracted. I know that if I am this way, then I know most of my students are very similar. Creating a more comfortable learning environment will allow my students to really grow and succeed.

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. This year my students will be able o work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clipboards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clipboard. 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. Students are more engaged in their work and less disruptive when they are allowed to choose 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 beanbag chairs and soft seats will allow somewhere soft to sit on the floor along with the floor chairs that will still support their back. These options are lightweight and easy to move around the room to allow for the most comfort.
