My Students

I have 20 fun and energetic students who love to be in school. They love to explore and are really beginning to understand print concepts!

We are a high needs school with a diverse group of fantastic students.

The students are learning at extreme rates, but I want to be able to help them instantly know if they are understanding the concepts.

We have flexible seating to help us get the wiggles out! My students are unique and love to learn about new things. I believe that they should have the opportunity to learn in the way they need to. They need engaging and fun materials that are engaging for all.

My Project

My students love to choose their own seating options. This means that they use any space they can find that is comfortable for them. I have a few flexible seating options in my classroom, but this new chair and couch option would be a perfect compliment to their classroom space. I believe that every single student learns differently and I try to make every space something that they can learn in. This includes their seating arrangements.

These students will thrive with a new couch to be independent and creative with.

They love to work independently and with others and this cozy couch and chair is perfect for our classroom. My students are successful when they can have the best seating option for their learning style.

This cozy couch will see many years of use with mathematics, social skills, reading, writing, and being creative. These students will be able to use this tool for every single subject and I know it will be a favorite in the classroom because it is functional and will help them be their most creative.
