My Project

My students love having the opportunity to work around the classroom. This gives them a chance to move away from their desks and find a more comfortable place to work. They love finding a cozy corner in the room.

These chairs would give our classroom 4 more options of flexible seating.

We currently only have 4 wobbles stools and a few cushions that students are able to use.

Students love writing, doing math, and reading around the classroom. By being more comfortable, they are more engaged!

Thank you so much!
