Flexible Seating For Success!
Funded Jan 20, 2018My project has been funded, and my students and I are all tremendously excited! With your support, we will be able to turn my class into a more engaging place, where the students will be able to get their hands on some of the more interesting labs, instead of them being done as a teacher demonstration. I am confident that this will increase student engagement, and thus understanding.
The first thing students saw were boxes being delivered to our classroom. Their excitement was unreal, they could not wait to open the boxes. I allowed students to work with a partner to open each box. Our classroom was filled with laughter and gasps of excitement. They could not wait to begin using the seating. It took a few days for them to get used to sharing and learning when to allow others to use a seat that they may have been using. These flexible seating options have not only allowed my students to be more engaged and focused on their learning but they have also helped teach them sharing and compassion.
Moving forward, the next steps for my students will be to hopefully incorporate sensory stations as well as class sets of novels they may find interesting and that are on or around their reading levels. With the flexible seating, I will be able to use all of these materials in an exciting and appropriate way to fuel student learning and achievement. One more time, thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
