Cozy Learning

Help me give my students some bean bags to read on in our library with a fidget to help them stay still.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. K's classroom raised $1,197

My Project

These items will help contribute to a positive environment. These bean bag will be very comfy for scholars to read in or be use as an alternative place to learn. The stress ball and pop-it toys help my scholars focus on their work and help them resist the urge to wiggle or dance in their seats.

My goal is to make my classroom as comfortable for my students to learn in as I can.

I love giving my scholars the opportunity to work however they feel comfortable learning to raise their confidence and inspire engagement.

Most of my scholars come from a low Socioeconomic background and don't always have the tools to help them be successful. Letting them use tools to help focus them better will help increase their grades and learn how to be sucessful for the rest of their lives.
