My Students

This project will reach two classrooms. We have just returned face to face with our precious first graders! We are a Title I school with a variety of ethnicities.

We have some very energetic, fun loving students who really just want to learn!!

Our students are so excited about this project that they have begun to use critical thinking skills to create their own flexible seating until we are fully funded!!

My Project

As schools start to return for face-to-face instruction, the students are being asked to stay in ONE plastic chair with the exception of brain breaks. With the new safety procedures in place within our classroom, we need to be more flexible than ever! Plus, these materials are easy to sanitize!

These options for flexible seating will help our students be comfortable while learning six feet apart!

Any advantage that we can give to learning, while under new guidelines, will be extremely beneficial to our students. This is a new way to learn, why not make it as comfortable as possible?
