My Project

My students are bright, curious, and full of energy. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring different strengths, challenges, and learning styles into our classroom. Many of them benefit from movement, choice, and a calm space where they can focus and feel comfortable. They thrive when they feel supported, both emotionally and academically.

The addition of two bean bag chairs, two lap desks, and two folding floor seats will make a meaningful difference in their daily learning experience.

These flexible seating options will allow students to choose the space that helps them concentrate, collaborate, or calm down when needed. Whether it’s curling up with a book in a bean bag or using a lap desk to work on the floor, these tools will meet students where they are.

My goal for this project is to create a more inclusive and responsive classroom environment—one where students feel valued and empowered. Flexible seating not only improves focus and engagement but also helps build independence and self-awareness. With your support, I can provide a space where every student feels comfortable, motivated, and ready to learn.
