My Project

The furniture I am requesting will allow me to provide a blended learning classroom environment for my students. I have been a blended learning coach and am returning to the classroom this year. With this furniture, I can have areas that have soft seating and areas with desks so that students can choose what is best for their learning styles. Student engagement is difficult but I am optimistic that by offering them choice and voice in their learning, they will take ownership of their learning and have fun while doing it!

I want to help spark engagement in the classroom by offering not only choice in projects but also choice in seating for collaboration.

As you can see by the photo, my room is large enough to have multiple learning areas for students so my goal is to reconfigure the space to create a model for blended learning in our school. Budgets are tight so we really need your help to make it happen! Thank you.
