Taking Learning Outside -Flexible Seating

Help me give my students means to take learning outside with a set of folding camp chairs so each student can have a place to sit while we learn outdoors across curriculum and a place to store them.

My Project

Students love to learn in different places or with flexible seating. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting in flip chairs or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them.

I would like to extend their learning environment and flexible seating by taking them outside to keep the engagement in learning.

It allows students to feel the calm outside and keep the learning going. Having chairs for each of the students will allow me to create a classroom outside to read or do group work.

In addition having a place to store the chairs will allow them to be available for us as we go outside because we are on the second floor and will need to store them downstairs near the outside door. Having a place to store will keep the chairs in good shape for a longer time. An outside portable classroom will increase the enjoyment and engagement of learning. A real win for all students.
