Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

In a special education classroom, students need to move around and love to have flexible seating options. We have an emotional support classroom for students in 6th through 8th grade. They love to spread out, especially during reading or free time. They currently only have one bean bag and regular chairs so they don't have a lot of places to move.

I would love to give students some options to move around and have some bean bags and other seating options.

They really benefit from having choices and the ability to spread out around the room.

Ms. Sweeney
Grades 6-8
