My Project

Our classroom utilizes flexible seating during our school day. This allows the students to work together and complete their work in a comfortable space. We have some flexible seating options, but they’re getting very worn out or broken. We are also are asking for supplies we use on a daily basis. Our classroom has 15 students from countries all around the world. My students love the opportunity to get away from their desks and work all around the room. This flexible seating encourages collaboration, social skills, and a love of learning. We would be very grateful for anything donated.
