Sitting Around the Classroom

Help me give my students flexible seating on the floor. I am moving grade levels and loved these chairs and desk combinations for the students to work independently.

My Students

My students are active learners. They play sports, act in plays and know each other's families. These students understand the meaning of collaboration and learning. They know many personal things about each other's lives. The neighborhood that they live in has houses in close proximity to the other homes. They can walk to school or to their friend's house.

My school is a large part of the community.

The population of my students varies every year. My students are constantly changing. This year I have students with diverse learning needs. They want to be active in their learning and are very curious. They want to be empowered to learn.

My Project

I am so excited to be moving and teaching in 3rd grade, the next school year. I was a 5th grade teacher last year. I fell in love with this chair and desk furniture. This furniture belongs to the 5th grade classroom. I need to have these for my 3rd grade students.

When we went back into the classroom, last year, these chairs and desk combinations helped my students.

They would work on independent math and writing, with a partner, while being safely socially distanced in my classroom. They are sturdy and fun, and allowed the students to work around my classroom with ease.
