Comfy Butts, Calm Classroom

Help me give my students comfortable seating in the classroom so that they can focus better!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Joyner's classroom raised $457

My Students

My school is charged with educating an incredibly diverse population, including a very large group of students who are refugees. Because of our high number of English Language Learners and our population receiving Special Education services, many of my students are still beginning readers.

In our township, over 73 languages are spoken among our students.

They have rich cultural heritages, and beautiful stories of resilience.

My students take their education very seriously, and have a desire to become fluent readers. My students are active, joyful, and eager to learn. They enjoy reading books that are a reflection of themselves.

My Project

Flexible seating has changed the way that my classroom works. Students are able to focus better, relax, and enjoy reading...because they aren't trapped sitting at hard, bulky desks with no cushion for 8 hours a day.

Do you spend your days sitting in rock hard chairs while you get your important work done?

Neither do I. It's impossible to focus your brain, when your body isn't comfortable...yet we ask our students to read, write, and think all the while they are constantly fidgeting and adjusting...trying to get comfortable.

Adding this colorful rug, floor pillows, and memory foam cushions for chairs will provide a comfortable learning environment for students, and it will brighten up the space. Students will have comfortable seating wherever they choose to sit!
