Stools and Organization to Help Strengthen Learning Opportunities.

Help me give my students a more organized classroom. The stools will be used at my horseshoe table so students can just come to the table without having to move their seats there daily. Thank you.

My Project

Flexible seating is a great way to allow students to improve their learning. Having stools in my classroom, will allow students to move freely around the room and have a stable chair to use at the horseshoe table. The students can freely come over to the table without having some students pull their chairs over to the table. Since stools aren’t as wide as regular chairs, it allows more students the ability to come work at the table.

Having an organized classroom is also just as important.

Having a place for things such as crayons, colored pencils, markers, scissors, glue, bandaids, and more allows students to have the independence to get the supplies they need without stopping the flow of learning. Paper organizers will enable the teacher to separate work, line and printer paper, and RTI grouping.

My goal is to create a more organized space that allows students to continue their learning without having to stop and interrupt the class asking for supplies that they need from my desk.
