My Project

My students are energetic, curious, and full of potential. They come to school every day eager to learn, collaborate, and grow. However, our current classroom furniture is outdated, uncomfortable, and not designed to meet the needs of today’s learners. We need an environment that supports movement, flexibility, and focus.

Imagine a space where students can choose how they learn best—whether it's working from a comfy Beanbag chair, sitting with a friend on the classroom Futon, or stretching out with a clipboard on the classroom rug.

Flexible seating allows students to take ownership of their learning, improves attention, and encourages collaboration.

With your support, I hope to replace our traditional desks and chairs with modern, student-centered furniture. I am requesting a variety of seating and work options—like a classroom rug, Beanbag chairs, low tables, and a classroom Futon—all of which can be arranged to fit different learning styles and group configurations.

This project will transform our classroom into a dynamic, comfortable, and inspiring place to learn. It will give my students the freedom to move, think, and work in ways that help them succeed.
