Help me give my students additional flexible seating as well as organizational tools to help them feel confident & keep their work tidy - regardless of where they choose to sit through out the day.
I teach at a Title I school in Arkansas. My students enter kindergarten from with varying experiences within school and exposure to academics. I began implementing flexible seating a few years ago, and would love to expand - particularly with organizational tools. I have seen amazing improvement in my students by using flexible seating! They are able to wiggle while they work, make choices about what works best for them, and feel an ownership in their classroom. Thank you in advance!
My Project
I am asking for additional flexible seating options and organizational tools for my kindergartners. Since beginning flexible seating 2 years ago, I have noticed what students tend to gravitate to: comfortable floor seating and cozy containers (such as laundry baskets).
These options give students comfort and safety in our classroom.
Students both crave the freedom of the floor & the support of enclosures.
We also are in need of additional ways to store their work & materials: such as the rainbow colored drawers. Students would be more easily able to find materials and put them back by using color coding.
