My Project

We’re in need of a comfortable rug for students to sit on with their laptops. This will provide a comfortable and soft space for students to sit while they work independently or collaboratively since my classroom does not have a rug. We are also in need of a standing desk to better utilize our projector for collaborative work as well as allowing students an accomodation for those that struggle to sit still at a seat and chair for extended periods of time. These two additions to my classroom will be GREATLY appreciated.
