Creating a Dynamic Classroom with & Small Group Tools

Help me give my students an environment that supports movement, collaboration, and focus. One way we're doing this is through flexible seating—and it’s making a big difference.

My Project

My students are enthusiastic, curious learners who thrive when given choices in how they learn. In our classroom, we are working hard to create an environment that supports movement, collaboration, and focus. One way we're doing this is through flexible seating—and it’s making a big difference.

Right now, we have four stools for flexible seating, and they are a huge hit.

Students love the option to move while they work, and it’s helping them stay engaged and comfortable. But with a full classroom, four stools aren’t enough for everyone who would benefit from them.

That’s why I’m asking for your help.

This project will provide more stools so more students can access this flexible option each day. I’m also requesting a standing desk for those who focus better when standing, and a tabletop easel to use during small group instruction—perfect for breaking down lessons, modeling strategies, and giving students more personalized support.

With your support, we can create a classroom that adapts to students' needs, rather than the other way around. Your donation helps us build a more dynamic, student-centered learning space—one seat (and easel) at a time.

Thank you for believing in our classroom!
