My Project

These seats will offer an inspirational spot for my pupils to sit, unwind, and concentrate on improving. They will provide a cozier and more welcoming environment for my intervention pupils. These seats will assist kids who suffer from anxiety and difficulty concentrating. Making sure students are at ease is crucial to learning and student development. Students who are allowed to learn in a pleasant environment perform better and are more driven to learn and advance. Offering my students additional seating options helps to create a learning environment built for achievement. The addition of this color picnic-style table will allow students to work in small groups. Students in my class receive intense interventions to help close learning gaps. It is essential that we work in small focused groups on various tasks. Having this picnic-style table will give us the perfect setting in the classroom.
