My Project

The essentials are key to make sure our space is organized and detailed. These materials run out quickly because they're used on a daily basis. I want to make sure we have enough supplies to last throughout the year.

In order to build a classroom where students feel safe, comfortable and welcomed, I would love to add more flexible seating.

The flexible seats include adjustable floor seats and a rug. This will create a designated space where students can learn on the floor by stretching their bodies as they grow up. This will help with students who need more space or need a different environment to focus on their work. These spaces also help with anxiety and focusing skills.
