Do you enjoy reading in a hard chair that makes it impossible to get comfortable? Do you write your best and feel most inspired sitting at a wobbly desk that is too large to fit your body? Well, neither do we! The diverse learners in our classroom spend hours of their day all year long trying their best to progress and become the amazing readers and writers of our future. Every person is unique and so is their preferred learning style. Some students flourish standing up at a tall desk, some love to kneel on the floor with a comfy pillow and hard surface to write on, while others prefer a group table with the option to stand or sit. In order to maximize student learning and promote self awareness, we would love the ability to provide our students with options for seating and working. Young learners are enthusiastic and active as they should be! Please help us provide the most safe, nurturing, comfortable, and inspiring environment possible to meet our young learners growing bodies and minds!
