My Project

As I prepare for a new academic school year to begin, my goal is to continue fostering a fun, nurturing and positive learning environment. Having a selection of flexible seating around the room will enable students to pick their best choice of seating that will bring about the best results! A simple thing like a seat, can get students motivated and excited about learning! Posting motivational quotes around the room will inspire my students to never give up!

My goal is to make sure they are comfortable and having fun learning in a positive learning environment!

Let's help them make this year a memorable one they will always remember! With your help we can make this project become a reality!
