This teacher needs your help!

Mrs. Tsao from Concord, CA is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Alternative Seating Options

Help me give my students additional seating options. A few extra stools and carpet squares will allow us to spread out and create reading groups any where in the room.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students sit three to a round table. I have 33 students which means that I have 3 student chairs set up around 11 round tables. Things can get pretty crowded!

When I pull students to read, I would like to give them alternative seating options.

The stools will come in handy when we need to sit and read in small groups at the front of the classroom or at the back of the room. We can quickly pull out the stackable stools without dragging chairs around or having to remove any students from their tables.

The carpet squares will be great for students who want to read or work quietly by themselves on the floor.
