My Project

My students are incredibly creative and imaginative. However, the space we have now doesn’t give them room to truly shine. I want them to be able to have flexible seating to help them with their jitters or energy to put it in the right space. They love to draw and explore different arts and crafts. These tools will help my students explore that aspect of themselves and learn by reaching their individual needs. By using tools and seating my students will be able to development skills they normally can’t in a regular school setting.
