My Project

Sitting at a desk and chair for hours on end can be taxing, even for me! How can we expect 9-10 year olds to sit so still all day long? I am hoping to bring more flexible seating into the classroom.

I have a diverse group of students, and these diverse students have diverse needs.

By adding something as simple as a comfy seat, I can ensure all students are able to learn in an inclusive and welcoming environment. Besides, students tend to work better when given some autonomy in the classroom, and what better way than to let them pick their own chair!

Please help me bring this vision to life, and thank you in advance! My students and I appreciate you.
