My Project

Today's classrooms are not the same as the classrooms of twenty years ago. Sitting for hours on end on hard chairs in stagnate rows of desks is not a formula for good engagement.

Kids are more likely to learn in an engaging environment that makes them feel comfortable and stimulated.

I would like to fill my room with items that help my students do their best learning, by providing them with options for better physical and mental comfort and stimulation

Flexible seating ball-chairs will allow students better physical comfort and stimulation as they can keep their bodies moving and loose even when seated. The lap desks, provide a great option for students to choose different areas around the classroom in which to sit down for an assignment or lesson. Organizing items allow for more space within our classroom so that kids don't feel crowded. And items like microscopes allows kids to take a brain break from their work while still being stimulating and educational.
