Empower Little Learners: Support Our Kindergarteners' Journey With Flexible Seating

Help me give my students flexible seating with flex chairs and seat cushions.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ryan's classroom raised $983

This project is fully funded

My Project

As little learners love to move around, giving the option of flexible seating in the classroom will help to enrich their learning experience. Not all learning needs to happen at their desks, and giving them different options will ensure for full engagement in important lessons that include phonics, mathematics, writing and more. Research has shown that flexible seating encourages student engagement and achievement. My goal is to ensure that my lessons are engaging and fun for my students. I love teaching this age, and I adore how excited they get about learning, and how quickly they absorb new information! My students are special because they are so wonderful and caring!
