Bean Bag Seating

My students need bean bag chairs for silent reading. My students are allowed to read daily in the chairs as flexible seating.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Driskell's classroom raised $364

This project is fully funded

My Students

I have a wonderful group of students. They are full of energy and love learning. My students want to be active throughout the day. Hands on learning is the most productive learning in the classroom. My students understand concepts quicker when they are able to experiment and work actively with the concepts they are learning.

My students love to read!

They are avid readers and look forward to reading every day. My students are amazing. They are excited to learn.

My Project

My students will be comfortable reading. They will be able to relax and focus on their material. Each days students are required to silent read and work on reading concepts during a small group. These bean bags will allow students to work but also be comfortable while meeting with their groups. The bean bags allow students to use a flexible seating arrangement for learning. The traditional seating arrangements in classrooms do not allow for easy movement throughout the room. With the bean bags, the students are able to move about the room to complete their work in way that best fits their needs.
