This teacher needs your help!

Ms. Ali from Baltimore, MD is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Comfy and Engaging

Help me give my students an opportunity to have flexible seating while engaging in, hands-on, interactive therapy activities.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ali's classroom raised $290

This project is fully funded

My Project

The items in the project will be used to allow my students to be comfortable while also having the opportunity to engage in interactive, hands-on activities. If bouncing is what helps my students focus so that they may achieve their goals, that's what we want them to do. My students are in grades Prek-5 and sometimes just sitting still doesn't work for them. By having flexible seating, they are able to move while still remaining engaged. The other items in this project will allow them to work hands on in each session.
