My Project

These stools will help support my students social development as well as provide some flexible seating arrangements in the classroom. These stools will also help students build positive relationships among peers, as they readjust to life after the pandemic. Students will be able to sit comfortably as they engage in social interactions in the classroom. Effective social skills are important for students as it improves their overall academic achievement. Social skills is an important skill that students will need to become successful lifelong learners. “A stool is a tool for learning”
