My Project

I am seeking donations to help bring flexible seating options into my 4th-grade general education classroom. Flexible seating gives students the ability to choose a learning space that works best for them, helping improve focus, motivation, and comfort throughout the school day. Providing options like wobble stools, floor cushions, standing desks, and bean bag chairs creates a more engaging and student-centered environment. I intend to use the desk chair as an incentive to motivate positive behavior. This will be the star students chair for the week. With these choices, students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning, collaborate more easily, and develop independence. Your support will make a lasting impact by helping every student feel comfortable, valued, and ready to succeed.
