My students are unique, creative, full of life little people who love to learn in a comfortable, cozy and exciting environment. They need to be able to move around and experience the lessons in different, more welcoming ways. I use an educational management program called the Daily Five where students are able to work at their own pace and within their own instructional levels to reach their full potential. The flexible seating, rug, and organizational materials I'm hoping to add to our classroom will encourage my students' independence and ownership of learning. They will be able to complete their work in different areas of the room while keeping the materials organized so their peers are able to move comfortably through the same work stations. Research says when a child is able to teach someone else what they have learned, then they have mastered the information or skill they are seeking to understand. My vision is to encourage this peer tutoring and assistance in an environment where students are able to manipulate their classroom materials easily and are then able to store those materials to continue to make the best use of the space available for learning.
