My Students

My kindergartners are the best students! They are eager to learn and they love, love, love school. In our class, we are learners with various educational experiences. Some of us come is as readers and some come in with little or no school experience at all. Every day is an adventure and every day we learn new skills and life lessons that will make us successful as students and as individuals in the world. Real world success begins with learning in kindergarten.

My Project

By donating to our project, you will allow each child the option to choose the place that they would like to work. This will create a more positive learning environment because the students are able to work more comfortably in their own learning space. They will become more creative, more collaborative, and more engaged on a daily basis.

Flexible seating has become popular with may schools and schools have seen a lot of success.

I would like to incorporate this into our kindergarten classroom so that it can become more student centered. I will carefully introduce the idea to the students and gradually bring in the different options so that they can practice and see which they like the best. Then, they will be able to move through the room working at various spaces during center and seat work times.

Creating a more student centered classroom is my goal for the year. This year I am focusing on allowing them flexible seating. Please consider helping me give my students the best possible environment for their learning.
