Grab a Seat in the Math Cafe

Funded Dec 4, 2023

Your generous donation has allowed us to create a space in our math class that students affectionately call "Pillow City". It is a space that has offered students flexible seating options when practicing math fact fluency and playing games. Students were immediately drawn to the cozy space as it is set up with pillows and a rug in the corner of the classroom. When asked what they like most about it they said they liked having the option of choosing a seat that helps them learn, helps them practice being responsible for getting their work done while choosing their own seating, and that it helps them to do their best learning. It has brought a greater sense of safety and community into our class, and students have proactively developed guidelines for how to keep the new furniture clean and organized. They have also suggested ways to fairly make the seating available to each other. Seeing their smiles and hearing their chatter as they utilize the seating to collaborate and learn has brought a new level of joy and excitement to our math classroom.”
