My Project

Many kids need some options for seating, not every seat works for every kid. Having different choices of where they can sit to feel comfortable, the tilt stool allows movement for a child who needs to move when reading. The other stools are a different option than a traditional seat. is a huge deal to the students. With those seats come books.

Graphic novels are a very high-interest read for many students who struggle with reading at a higher level.

The I survived book series is great, and having them turned into graphic novels gives another option to read these awesome stories!

The pictures in these books help the students understand what is going on in the book. The fidget mochis will also help students focus on what they are reading. They are small enough to fit in a student's hand while they read. With all three things, kids will be able to have an enjoyable reading and classroom experience.
