Classroom Engagement

Help me give my students a classroom they deserve! I am asking for seating that will keep them engaged in learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Staples's classroom raised $624

This project is fully funded

My Project

The items that are in my cart will allow my students the opportunity to have a safe and engaging classroom. Instead of the usual desk and chair, they work towards the positive rewards of flexible seating. This creates a classroom that is a safe environment and allows kids to be creative and socially free.

As a Title I school, sometimes we have students show up to school without supplies.

I I want to make sure my students have what they need to learn and grow!

The goal of my project is to make sure my students want to come to school. For some of our students school is their safe place. I want them to look forward to coming to my classroom instead of dreading the same old classroom they see every year.
