My Project

My students are more motivated and engaged when they have choice and independence. I am attempting to create a warm, comfortable classroom atmosphere that offers more opportunities for my students to choose where and how they work. Think of it as a coffee shop study vibe for middle school students. Flexible seating offers just that!

A workbench will allow my students to stand and work collaboratively on math and science projects.

This type of flexible workspace is extremely beneficial for students who have a difficult time sitting and focusing in a traditional classroom.
