This teacher needs your help!

Mrs. RIchards from Providence, RI is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Flexible Seating and Learning Centers

Help me give my students the flexibility through seating to participate in learning centers throughout the day. This will enhance their learning and strengthen their understanding of taught topics!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. RIchards's classroom raised $693

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 Project

I would love at least 3 types of flexible seating for my classroom. We currently have none! The children will love these options when working on new learning centers in literacy and math! This will also provide autonomy in their learning and improve social interactions amongst peers. Engaging center activities will increase my ability to more efficiently work with students in small groups.

I thank you in advance for considering to donate for my project!

It will make my classroom more inviting, interactive and fun! There will be 26 8-year-olds with big smiles on their faces!
