My Project

I want to create a space for my students that is happy and gives them a voice. A place where every child can find a place where they can work comfortably. When you are working on a project, reading a book, or learning something new do you like to sit in a hardback chair at a desk, or would you prefer to get comfy on a couch or your favorite chair?

With so many students with diverse needs including ADHD, learning disabilities, and short attention spans, it is essential to provide my students with a classroom that fits their learning style and gives them a daily opportunity to choose where they can work best.

My students are in school for 6.5 hours a day. In this age of technology, students come into our classrooms with their energy busting at their seams! This project will help allow students to choose a space to work where they are comfortable. This movement will help students zero in on their tasks at hand, instead of letting their minds wander far away from them.

How much more motivated are you to complete your work when you can choose where you sit? Help empower my students to do the same with their learning by providing them with comfortable seating options.
