Ms. Linares from Las Vegas NV is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Empowering Students Through Movement With Flexible Seating!

Help me give my students flexible seating. It allows students to find comfortable positions throughout the classroom. Comfortable students learn better, are calm, focused, and productive.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

At our school, I teach a group of 18 charismatic, energetic, and hard working students. Most of my students are English language learners. All of my students enjoy reading and taking their Accelerated Reading quizzes when they finish a book. My students enjoy working independently and in group settings which is why I want to incorporate flexible seating in our room.

Flexible seating choices will allow my students to choose where they work and with whom.

It also allows them to change their location and positions as needed. Giving students choices about their physical classroom space teaches them higher-order thinking skills.

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to easily pair up, work in small groups, or discuss as a whole class. Many flexible seating options stimulate students' sense of touch. This type of stimulation can help children focus and process information. Sensory bands and a variety of seating options are helpful for students with ADHD, ADD, and ASD.

Flexible seating is fun.

Not only does it look fun and colorful, but it creates a calm, relaxed learning environment. With the different seating options, students’ stress levels will go down and they can continue to do their best work while sitting comfortably.

Comfortable students are calm, more focused, and very productive. Students learn better when they have a chance to work with their peers. Traditional seating can sometimes isolate students from each other. This is why I am passionate about giving my students flexible seating in my classroom.
