My Project

I am excited to begin another year with my third graders! This year I will have my 17 students all day long and I would like to do a lot of small group instruction when necessary. That being said, having a cozy, comfortable place to work is imperative!

My goal for this project is to provide my students with a comfortable place at my small group table to allow students to focus in learning.

It is always much easier to grab and keep student interest in lessons when you do not have to worry about being uncomfortable! The wiggle stools will also benefit students that may need that extra bit of movement to stay focused as well!
