My Project

The items listed in this project will be used for many different types of flexible seating options for my students. With about 27 students already on my roster, it can get tight and repetitive with desks upon desks. On top of that, some students need different accommodations to best fit their learning style. By allowing for more comfortable and interactive seating options that students can pick, they can take charge of their learning and sit in a way that is most beneficial to them and their learning! I want students to feel as comfortable as possible in my classroom so that they are able to focus on learning instead of outside factors that they may be bringing with them to school each day.
