My Students

My students are a group of low income students who thrive on doing their best in school. Kindergarten is their first year in school and an important step into their education career. I want to create an environment for them where they can collaborate and learn and grow from one another.

My students are eager learners with a lot of different personalities.

They come to school ready for new tasks and challenges. They love to talk and make new friends. Flexible seating allows them to make new friends everyday. They love learning and enjoy doing group work activities as much as they can.

My Project

A flower table is a great choice for helping students start collaborative conversations. While this table option allows for flexible seating, the arrangement also allows students to have collaborative conversations with their classmates.

Collaborative conversations help students to engage students and enhances their learning.

They will be able to work with other students while still having their own space. This will allow them to do more group work and meet new friends! Kindergarten is a great place to start collaborative conversations and helping students start the process is just the beginning.

In our classroom, we have different flexible seating options and this will be a great addition to the materials we are very fortunate to have!
