My Students

Our Library Media Center is a large and amazing space with lots of potential.

In order to give our students the best learning opportunities possible, we need to upgrade our 21 year old library to a 21st century learning space with areas for collaboration, exploration, and learning.

As a school of over 700 students with diverse socioeconomic needs, learners of varying abilities, and ELL learners, we are in need of resources to meet all of our student's unique learnign styles.

My Project

Reading and collaborating are key elements in every student's education. By adding bean bag chairs to the school library, students are invited to find a comfortable and relaxing place to read. Bean bag chairs also allow groups to pull their seats together in any area of the room to collaborate and share ideas.

Bean bag chairs provide the flexible seating that allows students to read comfortably and collaborate in small groups while eliminating other instructional issues.

The comfort of the bean bag chairs will help to minimize fidgeting and distracting behaviors. The ease of moving the bean bag chairs will make forming collaborative groups quick and easy. The mobility of the bean bag chairs will also help students move away from distractions without losing their comfortable seating.
