My Project

Adding this floor table and seats to my classroom will provide an invaluable resource for my 25 amazing students, who are all at different learning levels and possess varied learning styles. Many of my students thrive with flexible seating options and enjoy the freedom to work where they feel most comfortable. The addition of this floor table will enhance their learning experience by giving them another seating option that aligns with their preferences. By allowing them to sit on the floor, as many of them already prefer with the yoga mats and cushions, they will have a dedicated space to place their papers and focus on their work more effectively.

Moreover, this floor table will contribute to creating a classroom environment that feels like home, which is one of my primary goals.

A comfortable and inviting classroom is essential, as we spend a significant portion of our day here. This new low table will not only accommodate the diverse seating preferences of my students but also foster an atmosphere where they feel relaxed and ready to learn. By providing a variety of seating options, I can support my students' growth and learning in a way that makes them feel valued and at ease, ultimately enhancing their educational experience.
