New & Improved Seat Options!

Help me give my students some flexible seating to make our classroom and a place where they grow while being able to move their wiggly bodies! I'm also looking to display a DEI library under bench seating!

My Project

After this pandemic year, I am really looking forward to providing more seating options for my students. These little ones are so capable of learning if they are able to channel their energy or position themselves comfortably while doing so. I am looking to add some stable yoga balls to our reading tables for students to use during small group, or when their bodies need to get some energy out. I am also looking to add a book nook area with a bench seat for reading that not only allows students to sprawl out and read, but also gives me room to store a complete DEI library! Making both culturally diverse & social emotional learning books accessible in a fun way will be awesome for our classroom community!
