My Students

The third-grade students at our community school are eager to learn. Many of them come to school and are very low academically. I am always looking for ways to engage them.

The third graders want to be immersed in their learning.

I want my students to be excited to come to school and learn. I want them to think outside the box when it comes to ways to improve their reading. Unfortunately, many of our resources are online apps. We need headphones to focus on what is on the screen and not the environment around us.

My school is located on the East Side. It houses full-time pre-K to 8th grade. All students receive free breakfast and lunch. The area of the school is a high poverty zone. My students come from difficult upbringings, but they are worthy of the best education I can give them. I will do whatever it takes to make their learning engaging and effective.

My Project

Flexible seating is a must for successful learning. With options like the floor seats and standing desks, each student will have options to optimize their learning.

Most of our students are returning to the classroom for the first time since the pandemic started.

That being said, they are not used to the structure of the classroom. Each option was carefully picked out with the students in mind.

We are lucky enough to be housing all 40 third graders in one mega classroom! Flexible seating is a great way to make sure each student is comfortable and ready to learn.
