My Project

On average, the class size that I typically have is 22-24 students. In preparation for next year, my goal is to provide more flexible seating options and ways to keep work organized for a larger class size.

My classroom is arranged in different flexible seating options, so the swivel seats and the wiggle feet will accompany standard chairs, and the stool set and floor cushions will create new seating options.

These will provide ways in which to move effectively and productively.

New shelving with table caddies and upright binder organization will help me and my students keep work and materials organized, working on some life-skill executive functioning skills.
