Students Do Their Best Learning When They Are Comfortable
Help me give my students the opportunity to choose how they will do their best learning by providing them with seating choices.

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Seating arrangements allow students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times students choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, and sitting or laying on the floor. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivation. I have noticed amazing results in my students' engagement when they are given a choice to move about the classroom during independent work time. 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.
My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice to do their best learning.
The products that I have selected will allow my students to have additional seating options to make more effective learning. The scoop rockers will allow students to choose a spot around the classroom and rock while they work. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out! The chair bands will allow for more concentration when working at the tables.
I have seen how different seating arrangements and choice making can positively affect my students' work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
