Ms. Hilker from Arapahoe NE is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Education Is Flexible!

Help me give my students an amazing reading corner and also an option for a kiddo who struggles to sit in a normal chair. This will give those kiddos in my room some great seating options!

My Students

I am moving to a second grade classroom. I am wanting to create a unique, engaging classroom for them. This means providing flexible seating to meet all of their needs and to make 2nd grade their best year yet.

My students deserve to enter a classroom everyday that is not just means of sitting in a desk.

I truly want them to be able to use many different options because I have many different students. They are never the same and either should their classroom. I want it tailored to them!

My Project

These materials will help in creating a great environment for my kiddos. It will allow them some different options for when they just need a change in scenery. Kiddos are active and shouldn't be expected to sit in a chair all day.

I know I can't sit in the same spot all day, so why should they!

Reading is also so important that I want an environment that makes reading enjoyable! Seating, especially comfortable seating is great when you need to make things different. I am really trying to change the room!
