As a teacher for 16 years, I have found that one of the best ways to teach my students is by having them in close proximity to me and the classroom whiteboard, where lessons are often taught. Sitting near the teacher/whiteboard allows for improved student focus and student engagement. Watching students’ hands fly up to participate is an exciting part of teaching…not to mention, it shows that they are learning! Please help me continue to engage my students by giving them a comfortable place to sit during lessons, as well as a place to gather together and continue to support our classroom community! Thank you!
