I am requesting six desk trays, six balance ball chairs and six active learning chairs. Flexible seating would give my students a choice in their lessons, enhance comfort, allow for more collaboration, and bring a sense of fun to our learning environment. After being out of a traditional classroom setting for a year and a half, combined with Mathematical Anxiety, more commonly called Mathphobia, flexible seating would help build my studnets' comfort in our Math class, which in turn will helpfully engage them in their learning. Mathphobia plays a large part in students' ability to take risks in their learning. They believe Math is something you are good or bad at and it can't be helped. This can lead to Math class being a combative and anxiety ridden time. My hope is to welcome them back with a updated and comfortable classroom to learn in their own unique way. While comfort is important, we will also use these tools to encourage student choice. Choice not only in their seating, but in their actions. These seats will be used responsibly and earned through proper use. We will use them to reflect on our actions, and how they are tools to help us learn, not just toys to play with. Thank you for your consideration.
