My students are sweet and engaging, funny and curious. I would like them to have the best opportunity to explore the world around them. In first grade we are learning to read, explore our math skills, socialize, investigate in science and learn about the world around them. The neighborhood I work and live in is a close-knit Chicago community that supports its students and its school. Having these flexible seating options available to my students will make a world of difference in their everyday learning. The ability to interact with others and to make friends, building the connections and foundation skills necessary to problem solve, read, write, complete math and to be aware of their roles in our classroom. Having 36 young learners provides its own set of unique challenges. Knowing how our brains work, and realizing that not all students learn in the same way, I would like to provide my students with an inclusive and welcoming classroom environment, where they feel supported, empowered and at home. I have been working towards this for the past couple of years, purchasing items and rearranging my room to allow my students a variety of options. Best practice shows that students need to move and their bodies need different things to create the best learning environment for each child. A colleague of mine has introduced flexible seating in her first grade classroom and I have seen first hand the benefits of offering different seating arrangements to our young students. I would like to be able to offer this in my classroom as well.
