Comforting/Relaxing (BUT Engaging) Classroom for 6th Graders. We Need YOU!
Help me give my students get a more comfortable environment to learn in. With research, more productivity happens when people feel comfortable which is why I am asking help on providing couches and bean bag chairs (plus more).

My Project
My name is Kyle Scatena. My goal is to make school a safe and exciting place to learn where friendships are made, personalities are enhanced and both girls/boys start to become young men and women. This is a 6th grade class for math and science (which are subjects that people either love or hate). I want to make it as possible for as many as I can find a love for these subjects.
The seating is meant for helping students feel comfortable in our room.
The device is meant to help me move around the classroom and still be able to keep track of the data I need to do. I need a desk as well (however, I do not want a big sit down desk since I love to move as teaching).
This is my third district. The first district, I had flexible seating and noticed a change with my students. The second district, I was told (by the style of the school) that I cannot have this. The difference of seeing students being able to move around and feel comfortable was clear as far as their engagement. Starting off in my third district, I want to go back to the flexible seating!
I can only thank you enough beforehand that you are reading this and considering donating to make school more exciting! YOU are making a difference and WE thank you for that :)
