The students in Mrs. Coombe鈥檚 class sometimes struggle with focus and being able to show what they know. Using headphones with microphones allows students to become independent of the teacher and use features such as speech to text to 鈥渨rite鈥 their essay, responses, etc. These headphones also allow students to use immersive readers to enjoy reading independently. Transitioning into middle school is also a big leap for these 6th graders.
Using flexible seating allows students to still move and continue to focus on content that is being taught in a way that is not distracting to others but encourages a student to learn while giving a choice, comfort, physical health, and creating a learning environment that is similar to the real world.
Students should also be encouraged to read, the book chosen allows the class to discuss real-world situations and make connections to oneself and a text.
