My Project

Each item that I have requested for my students will fit into a special place in our learning environment giving my students a voice and a choice throughout the day! Students thrive best when they are comfortable and in an organized learning space which is conducive to their varying learning styles. The stools and lap desks that we would like, will allow my students to effectively use various spaces in the classroom to work in small groups or work independently. The seat sacks and book baggies will come in handy as my students have trapezoid shaped desks with limited space to store their materials. Lastly, the privacy shields will give my students the space to privately work on assessments and tasks. With these items, my students will be able to focus and advocate for their needs this school year!
