Flexible Seating 3rd Grade Classroom

Help me give my students flexible seating including hobby seats, bean bags, and beach chairs!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McAloon's classroom raised $2,437

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are a 3rd grade ICT classroom that wants to move away from traditional seating. Research shows that flexible seating create a calm, comfortable working environment. This environment will help our students to succeed during the 2023 - 2024 school year! Our flexible seating will include bean bags, stools, wobble seats, beach chairs, and leaf chairs. To go along with this seating, we will need storage for student supplies and comfortable carpets for the students to sit on. We appreciate in advance your support of our new flexible seating classroom!
