My Students
My students are hard working and inspired to make their ambitions come true. As with many school districts, we lack funds to be able to provide students with the materials they need to be successful in the 21st century. Third graders get excited when they see their success with different materials, resources and manipulatives. To see their faces light up as they are figuring out new concepts and life is exciting.
Teachers at my school are motivated by the success of all students both academically and in preparing them for life.
Our school currently serves K-3 students with rigorous academics. I am a part of a teacher culture that is driven to inspire the minds of young people.
These materials will allow my students to meet their fullest potential.
My Project
Students today need a different type of learning environment. Today, you see many coffee shops with standing tables, couches, etc. People are focused and productive in these environments. My students are in need of the same type of environment to be successful in their learning.
I want to design my classroom in an alternative manner to provide my students with the opportunity to work in a relaxed environment.
It will set the stage for collaboration and real world simulation. Alternative seating can be beneficial to my students.
Students will be able to utilize the pillows while sitting at a low table or kneeling on the pillows while at a taller table.
More than half of students from low‑income households
