My Students

I am a teacher in a high poverty, low-income district. My students face many challenges both inside and outside of the classroom. I strive to make each challenge in the classroom a new learning experience for each student. By doing this, I created a project to help students gain more hands-on​, interactive experiences. Each student deserves to learn each day in a fun, engaging way. I strive to make my students LOVE coming to school and LOVE learning. I am all about flexible seating! I remember as a student I never liked just sitting in the same chair all day long. So I am creating an atmosphere where my students can choose where to sit and each seat be something other than just a chair. I think this helps student learning and engagement. As I said before I want my students be excited about coming to school and I think this will really help.

My Project

I believe that flexible seating plays an important role in students learning and engagement. Each student has a different learning style and flexible seating meets the needs of those learning styles.

Some students might like using normal desks and chairs and I will have that in my classroom as an option but I want students to have the option of other types of seating.

Other students might not work well in the typical desk and chair setting so that is why I would like to provide other options. I want seating that lets students sit on the floor, if they choose. Students like to sit on stools, pillows, scoop chairs, and many other types of seating. This project is for yoga ball type chairs. I have found in other classrooms that students work well sitting on this type of chair. Students understand that it is an absolute privilege to be able to sit in flexible seats. This project would really help me with my flexible seating classroom and I know my students would absolutely appreciate and love the yoga ball chairs.
