My Project

Small groups of struggling readers in grades kindergarten through 3rd grade attend my ELA intervention classes to leave no child behind. These sweet students work hard using creativity and teamwork to catch up with peers. They thrive on learning games, songs, and hands-on, active, engaging activities that challenge them to apply reading strategies. They come to class daily ready to learn new material and grow academically and emotionally. We use a variety of learning activities such as, group work, games, dance, and art as we apply new learning. Flex choice seating, including floor work, helps meet a variety of student needs.

Give students a super-inviting place to collaborate—with a low-to-the-ground table and 4 cozy seats that are perfect for contemporary classrooms!

Ideal for flexible seating, the chairs have cushioned back supports that adjust to the perfect position. The durable floor table provides a sturdy surface for writing, reading and much more. We can use this for so many activities now done on the carpet.
