My Project

This project is full of seating options for my students. I try to create a classroom that is inviting and welcoming to all. In our class, students have the option to work with partners, in small groups, or on their own during work time in a more comfortable place than their desk. I want students to be relaxed and ready to learn.

Flexible seating allows for students to have a choice in where they sit, while also working as motivation to get their work done.

I have also included some basic classroom supplies, like fun colored pens, to make learning more fun.

Mrs. Decker will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by Saturday, December 13.
