My Students

Have you ever heard laughter that was so contagious you couldn't help but join in? That is a typical day in our class. Our class is capable of bringing a smile to our faces in moments where you would least expect it.

Our goal every day is to keep those smiles on their faces while keeping them on the road to success!

Our students are highly energetic and engaged every day in our classroom. We come from diverse backgrounds of values, culture, economic status, and learning styles. Our students are the reason we show up to work everyday and push us to see past teaching as just a job. We push ourselves as teachers and our students to succeed in every possible capacity. All of our students receive free and reduced-price lunch. We are a class of 32 students with varying learning styles and paces. Despite their own personal struggles, they come to school every day eager to be part of the classroom that promotes kindness and acceptance.

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Currently our students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. We have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.

All of the products that we have selected will help our students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices.

The balance ball chairs, bean bag chairs, and floor seats are adjustable and will allow students to sit at their desk and other spots around the classroom but will still allow some movement. These will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get the wiggles out. They can also be used as an alternative chair if needed! They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. It can often be uncomfortable for students to work in small groups on the carpet, so the lap desks allows students to focus on their learning.

Many of our students still struggle to stay focused, even when they are trying their best. We have seen how choice can positively affect our students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more.
