Alternative Seating for Academics
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Scarberry's classroom raised $422
This project is fully funded
My Project
I teach special education students, and alternative seating often helps them to focus and learn. I have had special seating in my class for years and it's just getting old and worn out. One chair we have already had to be thrown out and another has been patched several times. I would like to replace this seating with new bean bag chairs and a bean bag lounger and let the students continue to have a "special" seat to learn new things. Not only does it help them to focus, but it makes them feel loved and special and that is often the most important thing.
This classroom project was brought to life by Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation
