Workspace to Boost Creativity

Help me give my students a comfortable space to create new ideas and affirm their previous understanding.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Russell's classroom raised $412

This project is fully funded

My Project

My classroom is a flower garden with a wide array of students from diverse backgrounds. Students come to school daily motivated and ready to learn. They enjoy setting goals and working hard to achieve them. Having a comfortable space to work will help my students reach their full potential.

Also, students will be able to focus on their assigned tasks without feeling cramped and uncomfortable.

In addition, students will be able to concentrate more in class and be more productive. Not to mention, students will participate in discussions, explaining their thinking and supporting their points by citing evidence from the text. Comfortable seating not only creates academic health but it would improve their physical health, and having the table that is requested in this project
