Comfy and Flexible Classroom!

Funded Dec 4, 2018

When my students first saw the materials there were very excited and eager to utilize them. After using the materials, they've said things such as: "These are so comfy", "I like these seats", "There are many places for our books", "I can't wait to pick my seat", "I can't wait to start my work", etc. I've seen the absolute joy in students when they are able to pick which seat to use or where to get a book. They are eager to complete their work, and are more focused!

The resources are being used by students to complete their work and read. Students take initiative in their learning, mobilize their learning, enjoy reading in a variety of areas in the classroom, and keep our books organized. They are very respectful of all the resources and demonstrate a true appreciation for the items that have been donated.

These flexible seating options and the mobile library cart have increased students' love of learning and reading. The resources have also promoted and continued to add to our homelike environment. The resources have added to our conversations of kindness, sharing, and taking turns--which has continued to strengthen our classroom environment and our rapport. They promote choice, comfort, engagement, and a sense of belonging in the classroom! These resources are providing a comfortable place and they are making learning fun anywhere in the classroom!”
