My students are a group of 85 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th graders with high intellectual abilities. They are often the students in the general education classroom that are early finishers, peer tutors and frequently bored.
They need academic challenges that stimulate their beautiful brains at the pace and level appropriate for their personal growth.
They are unique learners who benefit from our GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) classroom, where their needs are addressed. These students are bright and hungry for projects that allow them to work beyond their grade level curriculum and extend their experiences in a way that matches their ability levels.
My Project
Flexible seating is a modern way of giving students a choice and ownership in their learning experience. These seats provide a comfortable environment and help to make the classroom a cozy place to learn. With student choice, the learners are able to determine their needs. Some may need to work on the floor or move to work with various partners. These nontraditional forms of seating provide a domain that feels like "ours" instead of "mine." Students do not have assigned seating. We are a fluid classroom, always on the go. Now, our seating will fit our active and mobile learning style.
