Help Ms. Strauss' 5th Grade Class!

Help me give my students special seating options for better and more focused learning!

My Project

Aloha! We are in need of a couple supplies, but, mostly some special seating for our daily/weekly mat time reading. I have all types of students with various learning abilities, which also includes Special Education and English Language Learning. The amazing 5th graders typically find themselves all around the mat, in laying, leaning and awkwardly sat positions. I believe that these seats will help the children listen and learn easier, as they will be comfortably and uniformly arranged on the learning/reading mat.

Please help!

The keiki and I mahalo you in advance!
