My Project

As a teacher, my classroom environment is one of my highest priorities. My room needs to be an extension of how I want my students to feel. A classroom needs to be comfy, cozy, and inviting.

In my classroom kids love to learn.

With their enthusiasm it’s difficult to keep them in their seats! Throughout much of our day, we like to spread out and collaborate. This means using the floor as an extension of our desks. At any point during the day it is not unusual to see small groups of students huddling together to work on a project or students reading silently on their own on the classroom floor! My students need comfy, cozy seating options!

Please help me give my student flexible seating options.
