My Students

We are located in Brooklyn, in our new little school. My first grade students are full of questions, with creative minds that are ready to learn and absorb all I have to teach. They love to engage in hands-on learning projects and activities that make them think outside of the box.

My Project

My first grade ICT students are at an age where they love to learn by engaging in hands on activities. The old-fashioned way of learning using only pencil and paper is definitely not for them. Providing them with these learning tools will allow them to learn in a fun engaging way. My students also love to read in different locations of the room such as, under a table, near the book shelf or the front of the classroom.

I want to to be able to provide my students with comfortable seating in order to motivate them to read more and more.

The comfortable floor seats will allow them to move around the room when reading and provide them the comfort they need as well. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional seating options to make more effective learning choices.
