My Project

My students are 8th graders who are curious and collaborative! They work in teams daily and love having space to work in their groups on math tasks. Since we are at a Title I school, our classroom space is limited so many students will work together in the hallway or on the floor so that they can engage with their groupmates. My students need floor seating so that they can work together and out of their usual seats. I am requesting 10-floor seats so that my students can continue the great work they're doing and work together in spaces. Thank you so much!
