My Students

My students are hard working and fun! They deserve the best in order to be successful this year! I want to add to our classroom so they can enjoy working in a variety of places. This can be a motivating factor for them.

Students with special needs will also enjoy this table and chairs as it is different from anything we have in our classroom.

My Project

The use of these comfy chairs and table will be very beneficial to my students. This will give them the opportunity to read and work in a place other than their seats. This increases our flexibility and can be a motivation for them to work hard so they can sit at the reading nook.

My students love to work and sit in different places throughout our classroom.

This will add to their enjoyment as they can take turns sitting and working in the reading nook.

This nook will also be a great place for students with special needs to sit and give them a different place to work, other than their desk.
