My Project
My students thrive when given choices in how they learn. A flexible seating workspace empowers them to move, collaborate, and stay engaged in ways that traditional desks can't. Many of my students struggle with focus, sensory needs, or just need a more comfortable place to learn. Providing options like floor cushions, couches, or wobble stools helps them stay motivated and take ownership of their learning. With your support, I can create a classroom environment that adapts to every learner's needs and helps them succeed. Thank you so much for all you do!
