Set My Students Free

Help me give my students the ability to get comfortable in a setting apart from their student desks. The scoop seats and lap desks will help my students to stay on task away from their desks!

My Project

The scoop seats and lap desks will help my students work effectively, even if they aren’t at their desks! And the vacuum will help with keeping the classroom an inviting place to learn!

My students loved working around the room last year, away from their desks for a change of seating/setting.

My goal is to have useful tools around the classroom to support learning, so students have options! I know they get tired of me making every decision for them during the day, so I would love to let them have some choices when it comes to working around the room.
