My Project

This project would allow students to have the option of flexible seating in my classroom. Varied seating lets students choose options that support their individual learning styles. Multiple seating options create comfortable spaces that help students learn more and allow them to focus on daily tasks. I know my students enjoy sitting on the carpet and the lap desks will make them more comfortable with their classroom supplies. In addition, the bouncy bands and balls will allow students who like to fidget to move without distracting others.

Furthermore, this project will allow me to put interesting, new novels in my students' hands so they can get excited about reading.

The novels I have chosen are newer releases with bright, updated covers that will get the attention of my students or replacements for worn-out favorites. Getting new books allows me to keep them hooked on an author or series while fostering a love for reading. Due to limited funds, teachers do not receive assistance in purchasing novels for their classrooms. This Donors Choose project will allow me to purchase books to meet all my students' needs and interests. I can't wait to see my students getting cozy, comfortable, and reading.
