My Project

I teach 7th grade geography in Carthage, Missouri. My classroom has low lighting and two wobble stools. It is my goal to get my classroom as comfortable as I can get it. I believe a big part of making a classroom feel more comfortable is allowing for flexible seating.

I believe all students should be able to learn in the way they choose too.

Offering flexible seating allows students to take their learning into their own hands all while feeling safe and comfortable. I want to be able to offer my students as many choices as I can.
