It supports learning: First graders are naturally energetic and benefit from options that let them move and shift. Flexible seating allows them to sit on wobble stools, floor cushions, or even stand, helping release energy and keeping them engaged and attentive. They need to move an change their seats in order to improve their attention.”

The carpet offers a specific area for group activities, like morning meetings, storytime, and collaborative lessons.

As a kindergarten teacher, I want my students to come to class everyday happy and enthusiastic about learning. One of my goals is to create a classroom that is welcoming and full of educational resources. My kids love coming to class everyday and are eager to learn how to read! They absolutely love their classroom but I am still working on making it amazing! As a general ed. teacher and having English language learners, it is vital for them to learn in an environment that is fostering their growing minds. I am absolutely greatful for this opportunity and even though it's hard to ask for help I am. I love teaching and my priority is this: to make every student a leader, a scholar, and most of all teach them to love to learn. With gratitude, Ms. Esquivel
