Comfortable Learning Solutions

Help me give my students options they deserve to help them be more comfortable while they are learning. My 5th grade students deserve some flexible seating options in our room.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hansell's classroom raised $742

My Project

5th graders have lots of growing pains which tend to negatively impact their learning while they spend time wiggling, tossing, and hunching in their chairs. Some students are too big for their chairs and some too small. I teach some 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, so students size is definitely a factor in my room. The chairs are hard and quite uncomfortable after sitting in them for a while. Having flexible seating options will definitely assist my students in being and doing their very best. Please consider funding my project, Covid times have opened up my eyes as to how may different seating options I should have available for students.
