My Project

My classroom is crowded. I have chairs for seating when we aren't playing a game or moving around, but for some classes right now I don't have enough seats for every student to sit down. Some kids end up sitting on the floor.

Everyone deserves a place to sit down.

With this project, even the kids who are sitting on the floor will have options so they can sit in comfort. I've asked for some nice, thick, padded cushions that are easy to get out and easy to put away. I've asked for stadium seats that have backs that can pop up and flop back. And I've asked for yoga mats.

Sometimes kids like to sprawl out in comfort while they compose music or research. With all these options, everyone will have their own place in my room.
