Comfy and Confident

Help me give my students organizational materials for their reading and English as well as create a workspace for students to complete independent work! We have a table area now but the chair is broken!

My Project

My students have a work area for group work and independent work but there is no chair in this area! The new exercise ball chair will create a comfy and cozy area for students to complete work. The binders and folders are being used to organize their personal belongings to make reading and English a smooth organized binder. These items are random but are working together towards an even bigger goal of keeping students organized, comfy, and confident in their work! It is always the little things that get them excited!
