My Project

As a teacher in a Title I school, I see firsthand how financial limitations can impact the learning experience. Many of my students face challenges beyond the classroom, and school should be a place where they feel comfortable, supported, and motivated to succeed. Unfortunately, our limited budget does not allow for the extra resources—like flexible seating—that can make a significant difference in student engagement and success.

Traditional desks and chairs don’t always meet the diverse needs of our students.

With flexible seating, students can choose where and how they work best, increasing engagement and motivation. These seating options help:

• Improve focus and attention by offering movement-friendly choices.

• Promote collaboration by creating a more open and adaptable classroom layout.

• Support different learning styles, ensuring that every student has a space where they can thrive.

My students are creative, energetic, and eager to learn! They come from diverse backgrounds, each bringing unique perspectives and strengths to our classroom community. They thrive when given choices and the opportunity to learn in ways that suit them best. Providing flexible seating will allow them to feel valued, supported, and excited to come to school every day.By bringing this project to life, we are not just changing the way our classroom looks—we are transforming the way our students learn, collaborate, and grow!
