My Project

I want to create a classroom where the kids are up and moving. Where they can learn from preferable seating choices or vertically working on problems and ideas as a collaborative group. I want their confidence to soar while using their classroom to the fullest extent and have them feel in control of their learning.

We can use vertical white boards to access more of our classroom.

Markers, pencils, and utility cups allow us to keep track of our community materials and keep our learning spaces clean and organized. Light can make more spaces easier to be in and provide comfort during the dark months of the year.
