My Project

Flexible seating options, games, and library books will help my students by creating a more engaging, comfortable, and enriching classroom environment.

Flexible seating gives students choice in how they learn best—whether it’s wiggling on a wobble stool, sitting on a cushion, or standing.

This helps improve focus, motivation, and ownership of their learning.

Indoor recess games support students’ social-emotional development, giving them ways to collaborate, problem-solve, and build friendships even when they can’t go outside. These games also help reduce stress and keep students active during long indoor days.

Upgrading our classroom library will spark curiosity and encourage a lifelong love of reading. When students have access to fresh, diverse, and high-interest books, they are more likely to engage in independent reading, which supports their literacy growth and imagination.

Together, these resources will help make our classroom a space where every student feels comfortable, supported, and excited to learn.
