My Students

Our elementary school services 431 students from a large variety of economic backgrounds. Over 44% of our students receive free/reduced lunch.

It is our responsibility to prepare students for the twenty-first century learning environment.

Students are being prepared for the workplace as early as elementary school. They are being asked to do much more than solve an equation, recite a definition, or quote a famous historical figure. They need to learn to think creatively, and find their own independence in what makes them work to the best of their ability. A 21st century learning environment combines information and skill, encompasses all aspects of creative thought, and fosters originality and creativity at high levels. My goal is to get every student in my class to experience this.

My Project

These seats are specifically and purposefully picked to increase the engagement level of all students throughout the day. Students today need to move around and fidget a lot to keep their energy in check and focus on what is going on in the classroom. Wobble , bounce, donut and balance balls allow students do harness their energy while minimally distracting all other students in the class. These seats also boost a student's positive perspective in the classroom to further ensure they are looking forward to learning every day.

Engaging with the teacher in the lesson is everything.

When a student becomes bored because they have to sit in a seat they aren't comfortable in, they stop listening and participating. When students don't list and participate, learning sharply decreases. With flexible seating, students will have a much easier time staying engaged with the lesson and releasing distracting energy in a way that won't bother other students as they listen.
