My Project

Kindergarten students love and thrive in flexible seating environments. Providing my students with a student size couch will motivate them to read more and for extended periods of time. It also will provide a casual and warm setting to explore books with a buddy.

The atmosphere of a classroom directly encourages students that their learning home away from home is safe, comfortable, and enjoyable.

The couch selected is a perfect fit for growing bodies and growing minds. Thank you for supporting my early learners in a welcoming and positive way.
