My Project

My students sit in the meeting area throughout the school day, whether it’s for whole group or small group instruction. I would like for them to be comfortable as they learn and grow. The cushions will be helpful for them to not only use while on the floor area but also while at their seats.

The cushions will allow for a comfortable seating experience that will maximise their engagement throughout the school day.

The envelopes will be used to give to parents when completing forms esp. for trips. The erasers will be used by the students when they make “big” mistakes. I find that some of my students simply write over mistakes because they do not have an eraser to use.
