My Students

I have an incredible group of third graders that I have the privilege to work with this school year. They are highly motivated, excited to learn, and love being able to move around the classroom. My energetic third graders enter the classroom ready to learn, discover, and explore.

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. This school year has been a challenge with new routines and daily obstacles to face. We are VERY fortunate to be in person every day together. With this being said, my students love to move and sit around the room. This has been an obstacle this year since we are very limited in the seating. These floor cushions would allow my students to sit around the room on the floor comfortably and allow myself (the teacher) to wipe them down. 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.
