My Students

It is no secret that children learn by moving around and exploring their surroundings. We see this all of the time in babies crawling. However, the school system stifles this instinct by confining our children to rows of desks and seats. We tell our students to "sit down, be still, don't tap on the desk", hindering them from being their creative selves. My goal is to do a complete re-haul on seating in my classroom. I have already purchased comfy chairs, a few yoga balls and milk crate seats. However, I need your help to close the gap. Still recovering from Hurricane Harvey, I want to provide my students with an uplifting learning environment. Flex seating such as wobble stools, floor seats, & bean bag seats will restore some of that freedom that our traditional classroom has taken away. In a society that has an increase in attention disorders, studies show that flex gives kids an outlet for their fidgeting.

We would also love to utilize technology in our classroom however, we currently do not have access!

Unfortunately, we do not have any access to computers, iPads, tablets, etc. We are unable to do any research or complete minimal stations.

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 wobble stools are adjustable and will allow students to sit at desk/higher tables 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! The comfy floor seats and the beanbag chair will allow for additional comfortable floor seating options. They are lightweight and can be easily used in many areas of the classroom.

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!
