The purpose of this project is to create a classroom environment that compels students to be more engaged, more motivated, and more creative. Unfortunately, the typical classroom doesn't really make room for important learning habits like collaboration, communication, creativity, unique expression, individuality, and engagement. I'm hoping to take a bold step toward these important classroom values by getting rid of (almost all of) the 30 desks in my classroom and replacing them with the items listed below. Seating options like bean bags, floor cushions, and stools allow students the flexibility to learn productively and intentionally. The list that of necessary materials that I am asking for not only promotes true learning, but communicates to my students that they play a role in creating an engaging, focused environment.
