My Project

I want students to feel comfortable in the classroom and allow them to have options with their seating. There are gaps in their learning from COVID that we need to fill at this time. I am using programs such as IXL to help them learn these concepts and practice them. I want to give them a place to decompress and focus on these math concepts in a relaxing environment. Student's can sit in this area to work on Illustrative math, IXL, or Amplify science. Students can meet in this area to collaborate with their peers as well.
