My Project

In my classroom, students are not usually in their seats. They are up moving around, or sitting on cushions, cozy chairs, or floor pillows to complete their work. Students love these floor seats because of the backs to them. They get to sit back, relax, and learn!

I have found through my 18 years of teaching that students learn best when they are comfortable in their learning environment.

I have created a safe space for all students to learn and feel welcomed. These floor seats will help keep that cozy environment that they will look forward to learning in daily!

My students come from all different backgrounds and have a genuine love for learning.
