My Students

My students are struggling readers in West Virginia. They need a place for inspiration to learn and enjoy reading. These students are in grades kindergarten to fifth grade and do not always have access to books or nice things. Many of these students come from low income families and do not have access to technology and rarely get the educational help that they need at home. These students would benefit from having things to make their learning environment more accessible and pleasing to see.

My Project

Some students have a difficult time learning to read and applying reading skills. I am trying to build a calm and relaxing environment for students to learn. These flexible seating options will help the students to have options that will better suit their needs. The seats will enable students to move and better pay attention while they are reading and learning reading skills .

Sometimes their problem stems from not being able to sit calmly in a regular seat.

Some students like to relax while reading. These seating options will help students to learn to read in a calm and relaxing way.
