A Classroom for Everyone to Love!

Help me give my students flexible seating to meet their sensory needs.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Formont and Mrs. Caiazzo's classroom raised $2,127

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our first grade is one of many wonderful integrated classes at our amazing school. We are a city school, but don't receive Title I funding and the parents are our main fundraisers.

Our goal is to take the burden from our extremely dedicated and generous parents.

We would be grateful for donors who would like to help us provide materials needed to make our flexible seating dream a reality. Thank you so much for your consideration! The children will be blessed by your generosity!

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their own learning and making choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works best for them.

Currently our students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with their work.

Making sure students are comfortable, while meeting a variety of sensory needs, is an essential component in motivating them.

We have noticed an amazing difference in student output when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit to most benefit their sensory style. They are more engaged and get work completed than when they are just sitting at a desk.
