My Project

I'd like to offer my students the ability to choose their alternative seating choice! I have a few stools in my classroom, and my students love them. But I'd love to incorporate a few wobble stools and the seat cushions for the class to be able to choose from other alterative seating choices!

I am also creating an alternative learning area where students are working with their peers and learning from each other using peer mentors.

My students are very excited to be able to "teach" each other in their own alternative teaching area!
