After a long year of being at home, students want options as far as their seating is concerned, and who can blame them! It's been a long year of learning at the kitchen table, living room couch, and at times, even in the car. I want to ensure that students are given options for seating in my classroom, and through your donation, I'll be able to do just that. Research shows that when students are able to make their own choices in the classroom with things such as seating they have a greater ownership of their learning. Going into the 2021-22 school year, I want to provide a space that creates a friendly, student-driven, and creative learning environment. After this year especially, the students deserve everything and more!
