My Project

Imagine a classroom where students feel comfortable, focused, and ready to learn. For many of my students, traditional seating can be a challenge, making it difficult to concentrate and stay engaged. This project will provide flexible seating options like bean bags for our mini library and fidget bands for chairs, helping students feel more at ease while they read, work, and collaborate.

Flexible seating allows students to choose where and how they learn best.

Bean bags create a cozy reading nook, encouraging a love for books in a relaxed environment. Fidget bands provide movement-friendly support, helping students with anxiety, restlessness, or attention challenges to stay engaged without disrupting their peers. By offering these tools, I aim to create a learning space where all students feel comfortable and supported.

In addition to flexible seating and fidget supports, this project will also supply essential writing materials, such as paper and markers, ensuring that every student has what they need to succeed. Snacks will also be included to help students stay energized and focused throughout the day. Hunger should never be a barrier to learning, and having access can make a big difference in student engagement and performance.

Your support will help create a classroom environment that promotes calm, comfort, and academic success. By funding this project, you will give students the tools they need to focus, express themselves, and build a love for learning in a space that truly feels like their own. Thank you for making a difference in their educational journey!
