My Students

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically.

I have 24, very energetic 6-year-olds who have trouble sitting still or staying in one spot for too long.

My students love to sit on the floor to work, but it often gets crowded and uncomfortable.

My Project

During readers workshop, students are prompted to choose a cozy spot and independently read while I work with small groups. Usually, students choose to sit on the floor or carpet. Sitting on the floor to read is not very comfy! With these 6 soft seats, students will be able to sit comfortably on the floor and get lost in a book! Student can also use these soft seats as extra cushion on their chairs.

The goal of these soft seats is to assure students a comfortable learning environment.

These soft seats will allow students to comfortably get lost in a book!
