My Project

I have noticed that my students like to move when they work and need options for learning in a whole group, in small groups and independently. My project will fund flexible seating options, including a VIP Area where students can have front row seats to the lesson or use as a small group area. Flexible seating allows students to have choice in how they learn and provides movement for those like to keep active during learning or work time. As 5th graders, they also like to feel grown up and have spaces to work independently and in small groups.
