My Students

I work in a school, in a classroom with children that are eager to learn. I teach in a Title I school that is located in an area of New York City. Many students come from low-income homes where little or no English is spoken at home.

Children in this school are very special because they come from very diverse backgrounds.

They come from all over the world and are so excited to learn. My students come to school full of life. They walk into my classroom ready to learn.

My Project

As we start the new year in September to become life long learners, flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them.

The donations to this project will help to improve my students' engagement.

When students are given a choice in their seating, they are more engaged and get more work completed. My students are engaged in their flexible seating choice and less disruptive.

Having a storage bench will allow children to be at reach with what they need while having a choice of their seat. It will help them become dependent and make choices and become life long learners.
