My Students

I teach 22-27 students in a first grade classroom in Manhattan. Within these group of students are some English Language Learners as well as students with different academic and behavioral needs. Our school believes that all students deserve an entry point into learning and tools they need to be successful. I believe that the first place for a student to feel successful is in the classroom. By creating a welcoming classroom environment, I would like to create a flexible seating classroom, with many different seating options, rather than just sitting in a chair at the table. This will give students a chance to do their best work in the most comfortable spot for themselves! Thank you!

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. During this past year, students choose to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is a priority to me in my classroom.

My hope is that students will be more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.
