Help me give my students bean bags that they can enjoy reading in.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ruiz's classroom raised $232
This project is fully funded
My Project
My students love to spend time reading and working on assignments in the five bean bag chairs we currently have in our reading corner.
These new bean bag chairs would allow more of my students to read and work while taking a break from sitting in their hard desks.
I remember as a child how hard it was to sit in a hard desk all day long. I love giving my students multiple opportunities to get out of their seats and work in other areas of the room. They are able to focus on what they are working on when they are more comfortable.
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
