This teacher needs your help!

Alternative Seating

Help me give my students another bean bag and filler to refresh our existing class bean bags. Students love this alternative seating and have squashed the existing filler.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Murphy's classroom raised $205

My Project

I provide alternative seating options in my classroom. Students may sit where they are comfortable as long as they are working on classwork.

This provides students with a break from the traditional desk and chair seating arrangement that may not work for all students, especially if they need to wiggle a bit while working.

This arrangement allows them to feel more-at-home at school, while still focusing on their work.

They enjoy these options and the bean bags we have are well-used and need of a refresh. They have made comments recently about how flat a couple of the bean bags are right now.
