My Project

I am so excited to be a first-year teacher this upcoming school year! As a first-year teacher, I have so many dreams and goals for how I want my classroom to run and what I want my students to achieve. I will have a class of 27 students. I know that they are going to be brilliant and exceptional when given the tools to succeed. I am so eager to embark on this educational journey with them and to create a vibrant learning environment for them.

With a class set of cushions, our morning meetings will become a powerful catalyst for connection, collaboration, and empowerment, setting my students up for unparalleled success each and every day, while also using them as a flexible seating option will ignite excitement, productivity, and a love for learning that will shape their educational journey and prepare them for a bright future.

Gathered in a circle at the start of each day, we will engage in meaningful discussions, share ideas, and build strong relationships with each other. The cushions will provide a comfortable and inviting space where every student feels valued and heard, setting a positive tone for the rest of the day.

But that's not all! The flexibility of these cushions will extend beyond our morning meetings. As a fourth-grade teacher I understand the importance of providing a variety of seating options to accommodate different learning styles and needs. These cushions will offer my students the freedom to choose their seating preferences, allowing them to find a spot where they feel most focused and inspired.

I am truly grateful for any support in furnishing my classroom and providing these cushions for my students.
