My Project

I have a unique mix of students each year. Some of them work well at their desks or tables with minimal distraction. Other students require a little more movement to keep them focused.

I am requesting floor cushions and lap desks for students to use while working independently or in groups, around the room.

The cushions can be used during indoor recess, and independent reading time in the classroom library. The lap desks will be an alternative to clipboards when the students are working on something that requires a bit more space. These materials will get so much use in my 2nd grade class!
