This teacher needs your help!

Ms. Shea from Safety Harbor, FL is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Flexible Classroom

Help me give my students a classroom that is less rigid and more inviting. I want to look forward to learning and not have to think of it as sitting at a desk for 45 minutes per period.

My Project

My project is to make the classroom fun and interesting. I have seen first-hand that if a child is excited to be in their surroundings (classroom) they will thrive!

I hope the beanbag chairs that I requested will help the children feel more comfortable and relaxed while reading.

If there are comfortable and relaxed, then maybe they will want to read more or look forward to reading!

The colored markers are to help them make their map projects and posters more colorful. Drawing a map in pencil can be boring putting color to it makes it exciting!

One of the side rooms in my classroom has a cold tile floor. The rug is to make it look and feel less cold.

Thank you very much
