My Project

My students are part of a program that gives children from all cultures, areas, and incomes an opportunity to learn and thrive within the district. Flexible seating allows students to independently make choices that work best for them. During independent work times, they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Being that PreK3 is often an entry point for many students starting their schooling, it is also where families and educators may observe and begin early intervention, especially for students who may have suspected or diagnosed special needs. For this reason, we need to make the PreK3 environment adaptive and open-access for all.

Although we have variety, expanding this to include multi-functionality will aid in providing efficient organized access to learning resources and reduce clutter by maximizing classroom space.

Children are more engaged and more willing to learn when they feel more comfortable, accepted, and safe in their learning environment. This collection of stools and bench will add familiar homely touches to the classroom space. Children will have fun using various surfaces to engage at.
