With my classroom having the bare minimum, students are missing out on flexible seating, a library area, and group work stations. I am requesting wobble cushions, a storage bench, stacking stools and ergonomic chair. The flexible seating will allow students who need to be moving, the chance to move. Some students just can't learn their best when they are sitting still so having seats to wiggle on will allow my first graders just enough stimulation to help them get through the long day. A classroom should be a space where students want to be and these materials will allow for my students to come to school and be able to learn somewhere that is comfortable and set up just for them. With a chair and stools I will be able to pull small groups for intervention or extra assistance. This will allow my students who are struggling to get some one-on-one time with me. Finally, I am attempting to build my classroom library so that my students are exposed to literature throughout the day. Right now I have no seating in my library and only one bookshelf, so this seating choice will allow me to store seats and make my library a comfortable place for my students.
