Choice Is What Motivates!

Help me give my students control over their environment by providing flexible seating. These floor seats will give my students the opportunity to pick the spot that allows them to learn their best and sit comfortably.

My Students

My students are exciting, eager kids who come from bilingual homes. They are thoughtful and kind 8 year olds who love to see the magic in the world around them. They are always looking to learn new things as well as provide each other with their knowledge.

Each child in my classroom absolutely loves learning, although the method and environment in which they learn best vary greatly.

We incorporate a variety of learning strategies, group work, and would love alternative seating and learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met, right where they are! They are truly an incredible group, and I am so lucky and thankful to have a new group of learners that are excited and ready to learn each year!+

My Project

These kid floor seats will bring engagement and excitement to our classroom environment . By choosing their seating the students will be more engaged in their independent classwork and more excited about learning. The students will be able to move the floor seats according to their preferences. Research shows when people can sit where they want and have control over their own environment they are more engaged.

My goal is to create a student centered classroom, flexible seating is an essential part to conquering this.Young children have little power over their own lives, my goal as their classroom teacher is to provide freedom and power.

I hope to achieve this and watch my students soar through second grade & beyond, while enjoying their learning experience.
