Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I would love to have two floor seats for students who have a lot of trouble sitting at a desk. These floor seats can make working more fun and exciting as well as more comfortable for children with sensory issues. These floor seats can be used in any part of the classroom as well as other classrooms around the school. I strive to have flexible seating in my classroom for all students. These seats would be used daily to be used by any and all students. These are also common colors for students who cannot work with bright colors.
