Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 34

The outcomes of this project are immeasurable because of the experience that my students had in my classroom. Students were able to sit and learn in a way that they preferred, not in a way that I preferred. They were able to pick a low table with floor cushions, desks with chairs, or tall tables where they could stand or use a stool.

The impact of my students having choice and options meant everything to our classroom. I noticed that my students were more eager to learn and were more focused in class. It was amazing to see the changes in students just based on having the ability to pick the type of seating they would like to use in the classroom. Thank you so much for providing my students this opportunity.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

My goal is to turn my classroom into a learning space that support all types of students and all types of learning. I plan on doing this through providing my students with flexible seating in the classroom.

What will be done with my students

My students will be provided with a variety of seating options in order to promote an exemplary learning environment. In my current classrooms, the only option for flexible seating is by pulling a small group to the carpet. I would like to see a variety of seating options in my classroom: desks, lower tables with floor cushions, and tall tables to stand while learning.

Benefits to my students

Providing my students with a variety of seating options will improve the quality of their educational experience. Some of the scientifically based benefits include: student choice, health, comfort, community, collaboration, communication, and FUN! I believe that a classroom that provides students with these learning traits will optimize student learning. My students love to communicate and collaborate. I would love the furniture to match these passions in our room.

Budget Narrative

The items that I have selected above are all located on Amazon. I have selected:
- two high adjustable standing desk with gray adjustable chairs so my students can use the desks and chairs in a low or high seating level
- the short floor tables and 8 floor cushions will provide a flexible seating area for students who like to work from the floor
-the 10 surf desk will change any chair or floor space into a desk space
