My Students

We are a free, public, charter school that serves almost 300 children who live in a district that is classified as low income, with all children receiving free breakfast and lunch. The background of students in this school is widely varied. We are consistently working to improve educational opportunities and variety of experiences each year! Our smaller environment helps many students to thrive. My classroom has 24 fabulous and active fourth graders!

My Project

In talking with the students in the room, I found that they would prefer to be able to work on the floor in a more flexible way, instead of in desks. They are asking for flexible seating. I have requested these back supportive floor cushions and balls to help fill that request.

In our COVID environment, flexible seating helps students enjoy their classroom.

Currently, I allow them to work there but they are often uncomfortable in their various positions. These would enable them to work on the floor, comfortably, instead of working at their desks.
