Learning Is Easier When You Are Comfortable

Help me give my students a fun and relaxing environment in which to learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mara's classroom raised $2,942

My Project

My students are funny, inquisitive, and really intelligent. They like to be challenged and love learning. They collaborate and share their understanding with their team. What they don't like is to be uncomfortable. Most of the desks and chairs they use are uncomfortable.

The use of flexible seating chairs, desk and bean bags will encourage learning because students will be comfortable.

Flexible seating is more conducive for students to have team discussions. The seating will also allow for better class discussions because their seats can be rearranged from small group and whole group.
