My Project

These flexible seating floor chairs will give my students comfortable seating while they work in small groups or independently on the carpet.

I want to give students the opportunity to be as comfortable as possible when they are learning.

My students love to sit on the carpet while they work with each other. They also love to go to the carpet to work independently, whether it is with a clipboard or on their computer. These new seats will provide students with an option to sit comfortably while doing their work.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
