My Project

I service kiddos here at this Title 1 school in an inclusion setting. We as a school Ohana (family), are working together and moving forward with a new reading program for all of our kiddos, in an effort to get them reading and close some of the gaps they may have.

My project will provide these upper elementary students, with new supplies as well as comfortable and flexible seating to promote movement and freedom to learn away from the traditional desk.

Flexible seating is a positive and effective tool in our classroom.

Ms. Torpey
Grades 3-5
