My Project

My students have been so antsy when it comes to sitting on the floor and learning in a whole group setting. There will be one for each student.

These flexible seating options will positively impact their ability to pay attention during lessons and get their wiggles out while focusing.

My students are very excited for inside recess to begin. Our biggest issue is we have no where to keep our items! I am hoping to use these shelving unit as a way to help my students keep everything organized and maintained in the best state possible.
