My Project

I am creating a project that will give my students some alternate seating options in our classroom. I believe that having many different options in the classroom to choose from helps my students take ownership in their learning as well as feel more comfortable in their environment, which helps them learn better.

I want flexible seating to help make my classroom a second home for my students.

My students spend more time at school than they do at home. This is why I want to make it a space that they love and want to be in every day!
