My Project

Small-group seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them and their classmates. During independent work times, they are put into workstations. Our class utilizes the workshop model. This means that after the mini-lesson is taught, students congregate in groups at a station to complete tasks. Currently, my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations, with their group members, 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 working together to achieve a common goal. 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 desks.

Having a small-group seating area will help my students tremendously!

They will have a comfortable space to learn and grow as I monitor all of their hard work.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. I have seen how choice can positively affect my students' work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even
