My Project

My third grade students are a creative, inquisitive, energetic group. They have a wide range of learning styles. One thing they all share in common is that they thrive using flexible seating. Most of my students prefer not to use their traditional desk seat and work better using alternative options. My students enjoy being challenged to new things. I strive to create a classroom environment that feels like a homey environment to inspire success.

The item I am requesting will provide a large flexible learning environment for my students to share.

The futon and rug I am requesting will be be in our whole group class area and all students will have access to it.
