My Project

Who doesn’t love a comfy rug to read a book or work with a partner on? Flexible seating will enhance student choice and accountability in their learning. Students will have ownership of where they will complete independent/group work. The flexible seating will also allow our ENL (English as a New Language) teacher and students a comfy place for small group work!

Help me create a comfortable learning environment for 32 fifth graders!

My goal is to provide comfort in our classroom. At the moment, we only have our tables and the bare floor to work on.

As fifth graders, they are full of curiosity and some sass. This project will help my students come together to work and also offer opportunities to move away when necessary.
