My Project

My 5th grade students spent two years of learning, during COVID, at home in their living rooms, on couches, laying on the floor or at the kitchen table. They have learned that learning doesn't require you to sit at a desk all the time.

By providing student-choice, flexible-seating options to my students, I am allowing them to say, "This space helps me experience learning at my best!".

They have the ability to place themselves in spaces that are most comfortable for them. My goal, as their teacher, is to provide spaces and places for them to reach their greatest potential.
