My Project

Students will have flexible seating options.

With clipboards and wobble stools, everyone can participate.

Soft start choices to get their day started working together. Students will have choice bins and activities to work together to complete challenges.

With 22 student I wanted many option so that students can work in small groups. This way all student will be able to access the materials and contribute to the group at the same time.

Students will enjoy working with other materials besides red cup to complete challenges.
