My Project

Flexible seating options will help my students stay engaged and comfortable while learning. The rolling office chairs in our science center will allow students to collaborate easily, move between stations, and focus during hands-on activities. The bar stools at our high-top table will provide an alternative workspace that encourages participation and creativity. These seating choices give students control over their learning environment, helping them stay focused and excited about learning.

My goal is to create a classroom environment that supports movement, collaboration, and engagement.

Traditional desks and chairs don’t always meet the needs of active learners, so I want to provide options that encourage focus and comfort. By adding flexible seating, I hope to foster a love for learning, promote teamwork, and give students the tools they need to succeed in a setting that feels welcoming and adaptable.

My students are curious, hardworking, and eager to learn! They attend a small rural school where we value community and creativity. They come to class every day ready to explore, ask questions, and challenge themselves. They thrive when given the opportunity to move and collaborate, and I want to provide a space that supports their unique learning styles. These students deserve a classroom that meets their needs and encourages their potential!
