My Students

My school is a K-5 Arts integrated elementary school nestled in SE Portland. While providing students with the academic knowledge that’s required for their grade level, Buckman’s classroom teachers, arts specialists, librarian, support staff and volunteers all work to nurture the whole child–intellectual, emotional, social, and physical–using a variety of teaching strategies. Notably, staff use a multiple-intelligence approach (developed by Howard Gardner), working with students’ verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical-rhythmic, bodily-kinetic, visual-spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist and existentialist intelligences.

This Arts-Focused Elementary school is committed to the whole child and the library is no exception.

In addition, students embark on in-depth explorations of groundbreaking artists and art movements throughout history, including Picasso, Kandinsky, Van Gogh, Asian art, and many others, deepening their understanding of world events, cultural movements, and historical perspective. Students’ strengths and learning preferences are taken into account, and children are often given the opportunity to explore subjects on their own, through independent projects.

Teachers use activity-oriented projects , learning centers, design technology, themes and simulations to make learning memorable and rewarding.

My Project

This project will allow all students who enter the library to choose seating that best fits their learning style. Our bulky, heavy chairs are a challenge for younger students to manipulate and create difficulty when pushing in. These chairs will fit perfect under the tables and create more room in our small space. Giving students the wriggle time they need helps in concentration. "Everyone who tries sitting on a Hokki Stool is amazed by how comfortable, sturdy, and engaging they are, which is why Hokki Stools are becoming a classroom favorite for both teachers and students. The ergonomic stools prove that classroom furniture doesn't have to be traditional to be effective in helping kids learn. Whether you already have several Hokki Stools in your classroom or are considering trying one, these tips on the various ways Hokki Stools can be used in the classroom to create a more engaging learning environment will have you and your students wanting a classroom set!" Additionally, the library is used for inservices, SUN program, fairs and school events. Having these light weight and stackable chairs will make rearranging furniture for these events easier on staff, the librarian and volunteers!
