My Project

Currently students are given a chair to use at the back kidney table to sit at. The chairs are much larger and bulkier than a stool, and we are unable to fit more than 4 kids comfortably on the chairs. My hope is by having small portable stools kids will be able to fit at the back table and I will be able to provide more support at once. The stools are light and portable to move for small groups or partner work. Giving students a tool to help them move around the room and work with other students will help them feel more empowered.
