Mrs. Willey from Rock Springs WY is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Comfort, Acceptance, Love, Functionality, and Learning

Help me give my students additional seating, snacks to keep their brains going and minds on task, water so that there are less disruptions with leaving class, and teaching materials from TPT to help me be the best for them!

My Project

I currently teacher resource math at the junior high school in the small town I live in. The majority of students who attend my school, and whom I teach and service, are students that come from a home where money is an issue.

These students come to class asking for snacks or food almost daily.

I have purchased a lot of snacks, hundreds of dollars worth, but I am no longer able to finance this myself. The students I service struggle to sit still, they struggle to come to school, and they feel inferior with their learning struggles. I always strive to create a space where students feel safe, loved, and successful in their education. So if I can give them snack, make sure they have water so that there are less interruptions in our lessons, provide sturdy but different seating that helps them with their learning, I do my best. If I can get some help to find differentiated materials to better teach them to their needs, I do my best. I just want to be a great teacher and help these kiddos grow emotionally and academically.
