My Project
Aloha Kākou,
Our current classroom setup, while functional, doesn't always provide the most comfortable or engaging learning environment.
We believe that flexible furniture such as a Rolling Dry Erase board and a think space area could transform our classroom into a more dynamic and inspiring place for our students.
My name is Ms. Pohai and I am a proud teacher and Nānākuli High and Intermediate School teacher. I am passionate about creating a positive and engaging learning environment for my students, and I believe that a variety of seating options and thinking spaces to help students express and explore content. Research has shown that flexible seating can improve focus, engagement, and overall student well-being.
