My Students

I currently teach 2nd and 3rd grade gifted students in my district. My students are some of the best behaved and well rounded kids. They keep me on my toes by asking questions and constantly challenging me to learn something new. These students are active and love to create projects. We are currently growing worms in our habitat garden outside of the classroom.

My class is an open environment, our seating style is very different.

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. Currently my students are choosing 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 an essential component in motivating them. I 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.

My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of where to work.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices. The tables selected will give them a place to work while comfortably sitting on a pillow or the floor. The comfy floor pillows will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. The shelves selected will allow for more organization in the classroom and take up less space so I can allow my students to have flexible seating.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
