My Students

I teach in a 5th-grade classroom in Staten Island, NYC. They are curious, book-loving children. They amaze me every day with their creativity and excitement for learning! I have a diverse group of learners, which means there are diverse needs in my classroom. My students all love to learn, but need to be given a variety of access points that support their specific academic and social-emotional needs. They love to do projects that incorporate their academic learning with their community.

With such a diverse group of learners, and the task of meeting the needs of each, flexible seating has been become a crucial part of my classroom environment.

Flexible seating has been a game-changer in my room. Accommodations can be made for whole-group, small group, partnerships, and individual conferencing. The learning climate has changed dramatically, engagement significantly improved, and, as a result, the children have blossomed into inquisitive little people!

My Project

My classroom is a flexible seating environment. It's been an amazing transformation within my room. The atmosphere changed for the better! We use clipboards to lean on often when meeting in small groups, conferencing on the rug and walking around during learning experiences.

We also use dry erase board to help our learning daily.

These dry-erase clipboards and erasers would help save space by replacing the 2 boards (clipboard and dry erase board) with just one! This is great news for flexible seating students as space saving is our thing! These dry-erase boards are a great way to keep learning engaging!
