Seating in Comfort to Maximize Learning and Engagement!

Help me give my students flexible seating and a rug for Small Group Instruction. This project will allow our students to learn in a smaller setting, while seating in comfort to meet their individual learning styles!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Estephane's classroom raised $847

My Project

The flexible seating and rug will provide my special learners to engage in their best learning style during small group.

We want our students to be comfortable, free and relaxed while engaging in reading, writing and math small group away from the whole group instruction.

The chairs and rug will do just that!

Since many of our students struggle to stay focused, alert and engage in a large learning setting, providing them with these materials will foster their natural ability to share ideas confidently, be relaxed, receive action feedback, and engage with their teacher without fear.
