My Project

I absolutely love my English Language Learners' curiosity, creativity, and eagerness to learn. They bring so much energy and enthusiasm to the classroom, and it's inspiring to see how they embrace new challenges. However, I’ve noticed that traditional seating can sometimes limit their ability to focus, collaborate, and engage in learning activities. That’s why I’m excited to introduce more comfortable and flexible seating options like stools, seating cushions, and bean bags into our classroom.

These seating options will provide my students with the freedom to choose how they learn best—whether it’s collaborating in small groups, working independently, or simply finding a cozy spot to dive into a good book.

The stools will be perfect for our collaborative tables, allowing students to easily move around and work together. The seating cushions and bean bags will create inviting spaces for reading and quiet reflection, giving students the comfort they need to stay focused and engaged. With your support, we can transform our classroom into a more dynamic and student-centered learning environment where every child can thrive!
