Comfy Seat to Learn!

Help me give my students a comfy and tall seat for individualized intervention!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Melenyzer's classroom raised $273

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am currently expanding and adding different types of flexible seating to my kindergarten classroom. Through past DonorsChoose Projects, I currently have wobble seats, a floor table, white-board table, and kick bands that students love to use daily!

I am looking to add an extra comfy chair to use with my white-board table to enhance the engagement and excitement of intervention time!

The chair will be used when I work with students daily during intervention time.

Students can also use this chair during other activities such as when they check in with me daily or as a student spot light chair (show and tell, talking about a problem, etc.).
