My Project

As an educator, I am always looking for ways to create an engaging and comfortable environment that promotes student success. Flexible seating allows my students to take ownership of their learning by choosing where and how they sit, which in turn encourages collaboration, movement, and focus.

Many of my students have different learning styles, and flexible seating provides them with the opportunity to find a space that works best for them, whether that’s a traditional desk, a comfy bean bag, or even standing at a desk.

By providing a variety of seating options, I aim to meet the diverse needs of my students and create a classroom where they can thrive. The mobile organizer will allow my students to easily locate and retrieve their math games and store them after each use. I’m seeking funding for a bench, a couch, and storage for math games to help transform my classroom into a more dynamic and student-centered space.
