My Students

As a second grade teacher in an urban school, my students come from a variety of backgrounds. No matter what their background is, they are all a curious bunch of children who are striving to make the world a better place. We are an International Baccalaureate school that focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer in the classroom and beyond.

They like to move, they are 21st century learners, and they love a lot of positive attention.

From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. By doing this in a creative and positive way, I hope to inspire them to continue on a path of academic excellence that focuses on their individual needs.

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, sitting on wobbly stools, standing up, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices.

The comfy seats with a back will help my students focus but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to find a different place to sit, instead of a wobbly stool or a regular chair.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
