Help me give my students a comfortable place to enjoy a good book or take a breather!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Panella's classroom raised $534
This project is fully funded
My Project
I teach an amazing group of first graders! Some flexible seating for my students will fill several needs. First, it will give them a cozy space to sit and enjoy a good book. These bean bag chairs will be perfect in our classroom library! Secondly, some days can be stressful for some of my students. The bean bag chairs will provide a safe place to take a time out. Being easily movable, they will allow me to move a student to a quieter area of our classroom to take a breather. And of course, the opportunity to sit in these chairs as a reward, will help promote positive behavior!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
