Ms. Fromherz from Dayton, NV is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Alternative Learning for Elementary

Help me give my students alternative ways to learn in the classroom environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Fromherz's classroom raised $691

This project is fully funded

My Project

The items I am specifically asking for are alternative education games, chairs, and books for my elementary school class. Our students do not learn the way many other students learn; therefore, they need different materials for their learning.

By providing education games, fidget chairs and regulatory emotion books, our students will be able to learn the same things other kids learn but in a different way.

When a child is struggling with learning our teachers do whatever it takes to help those children progress and learn in their classroom. In utilizing these items through Donors Choose, we will be on the way to progress sooner than we would if they didn't help.
