Seating Doesn't Have to Be What We Think It Is

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lewis's classroom raised $722

This project is fully funded

My Project

Every year we pour hours into our students. Hoping to reach them at their levels. We make our room colorful and full. We pay attention to their sensory needs and make sure that we put in areas of the room that they are comfortable in.

These items will enrich a classroom that is going to be utilized to encompass ALL of our students.

We want our students to continue to grow no matter how long they are with us. These items will allow that to happen. These items allow flexible seating, differentiated learning tools and items that the teachers can use in any room they go in.
