My Project

I want students to be able to choose where they want to sit in order to focus on instruction. Research shows that allowing students to have multiple ways to sit leads to better focus and happier children. I also want them to have games to play with each other on rainy days or just as a fun prize to win for being a well behaved class! My students are special because a lot come from under privileged families and I want to have things for them to look forward to when coming to school. I want them to want to come to school and to do well.
