My Project
Many of my students spend more waking time at school than at home. So where they sit is so important! Shouldn’t they have comfortable places to sit while working and reading? I’m requesting just a fraction of the seats students need to feel comfortable. The seating 100% addresses increasing learning differences and ensures that all students are given the same chance to learn. They’ve been asking me all year for better seating and I am hoping this project will be funded this round. My students would be beyond grateful, this year and next.
