My Students

I teach Special Education 7th-12th grades at a small school. My students are hard-working and love to work with their hands. We are working this year on jobs they will be able to do outside of school. I have some that want to go to the military, be dump truck drivers, and farmers.

My class is full of students who want the best out of life and are working hard to achieve it.

I want to see them have the opportunity to reach for something new and try something new and learn something new.

At our school we are a project-based learning school, we like teaching them to use their hands as well as their brains in order to work on their problem-solving abilities. I want to see them succeed and grow.

My Project

In my classroom, I have tall tables students are able to sit or stand at. However, we do not have adequate seating. These stools I am requesting will provide comfortable seating to my students.

As of right now, we have hard uncomfortable stools that I have borrowed from my mother in law.

While she didn't mind, I don't want them torn up and teenagers are rough. They are good kids but rough on things. We expect them to sit in hard plastic chairs all day which can't be good for their growing bodies.

I want to be comfortable while they learn. It means a lot to me that they are comfortable because it helps them focus when their back is not hurting from sitting on uncomfortable seats.

I know they would greatly appreciate these comfortable stools and it would help them grow and learn while they are in comfort.
