My Project

My students are hard-working, dedicated kids who all learn differently and at different levels. They are full of energy and come from varying ethnic backgrounds. They enjoy reading, science and writing stories. They come to school every day with a passion to learn.

Having a variety of seating options will allow students to learn in an environment that is comfortable and that meets their needs!

During distance learning, students were afforded the opportunity to learn from the comfort of their home. After returning to in-person learning, students are learning solely from the confines of our small classroom. With a limited amount of space, students would benefit from having a variety of flexible seating opportunities that best suit their learning style. These floor cushions and stacking stools will make a great addition to our current traditional seating, floor pillows and bean bag options. These flexible seating materials will allow my students to stay engaged throughout the day.
