My Project

My fourth grade students are eager to learn. Like all students, they need the appropriate resources to help them stay engaged in their learning. One way I hope to keep them engaged is by starting to use flexible seating in my classroom.

I am requesting a carpet, wobble stools, and balance ball seats to help my students stay active learners and keep them engaged in our lessons.

I am planning to use book bins to store students' supplies in, instead of desks, and to allow them to choose where they sit and what type of seat they use daily.
