My Project

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase my students' academic achievement.

My students enjoy sitting in different areas around the classroom to work with partners or independently on assignments or projects.

Currently we only have two bean bags in the classroom with as many as 17 students in the classroom, it does not provide a lot of options for seating.

This donation of a lap desk, saucer chair, and floor pillows would really excite my students and develop higher order thinking skills to keep them engaged in activities within the classroom.
