My Project

My goal for this project is to create a more comfortable and collaborative learning space that supports focused group work, independent learning, and classroom organization. The collaborative seating will allow me and my students to gather easily for small group discussions, reading time, and peer collaboration. The headphones will help students focus during digital learning and minimize distractions, especially during personalized lessons or assessments. A bookshelf will keep our materials organized and accessible, encouraging a love for reading. My students are special because they are eager to learn, help one another, and bring joy and creativity into our classroom every day.
