Children Learning Comfortably In Flexible Seating!
My students need flexible seating! Bouncing ball chairs for computer interventions, relaxing chairs for independent reading, and stools for small group instruction!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Bowes's classroom raised $187
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 Students
My students attend a high poverty, public, elementary school in Pennsylvania. We are a Title I, low income school. Since many of our students come from a home where food is not always plentiful, all students are served breakfast in the classroom.
We are heavily populated with English Language Learners.
Having such a large ELL population makes each classroom very diverse and full of life, but it also comes with a fair share of challenges.
My classroom is an inclusive classroom with support from Special Education Teachers, as well as ESOL Teachers. Every one of my children is capable of succeeding and surpassing every academic goal set for them.
My Project
To increase student engagement each child will have different types of seating in the classroom. The seats will help them stay focused and enjoy learning. We are all taught that not every student learns the same way. So why should we expect children to sit and be comfortable all day long in the same seat. First graders need to be able to wiggle, rock, and move!
Bouncing ball chairs for computer interventions, relaxing chairs for independent reading, and stools for small group instruction will help my class be more successful and engaged in each lesson.
I feel like this would help my classroom become more responsible as well as successful learners.
Thank you for helping our classroom become a better and happier place.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
