My Students

I am so lucky to teach in a community with parents who are supportive of teachers and students. Parents are very involved and want their children to do well in school. Therefore, my students come to school ready to learn and do their best each day. The students are always wanting to strive to be the top school in the county.

My students really enjoy being able to have a choice as to where they can sit and complete their work.

The students love to be able to sit on the floor or on stools to work. Having a choice of seating gives the students who have different learning styles a choice as to where they will work best.

The students in my classroom are very kind and encouraging to each other. If someone is having a hard time completing an assignment, they will go over and try to explain to the student to understand what they are working on. I am so thankful I am able to teach such wonderful students.

My Project

The students will love this choice of seating. The students will be able to move up and down to complete their work without disturbing others around them. The yoga chairs will add to choice seating in our classroom.

Yoga chairs would be another great choice for flexible seating in our classroom.

The students already have a choice of stools, yoga mats, carpet and wobble stools. The yoga chairs would be another great option. They have been in other classrooms that have the yoga chairs and loved it.

The students who can't sit still will enjoy this seating because they will stay balanced while working and not have to worry about falling off the the yoga ball because it is a chair. The yoga chairs would be a great asset to our classroom.
