Flexible Seating Brings Joy

Help me give my students wiggle stools, ball chairs, and laptop trays to bring joy while they work.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Matthews's classroom raised $550

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

My students have a lot of high needs. I want them to love being in my class by offering colorful flexible seating. Funding my project would do just that. My classroom has the bare minimum with tables and chairs.

Learning does not need to happen at a desk all day long.

My students will love having a choice of how they want to sit and learn. I chose seating that they will enjoy and be comfortable in. Having options builds stamina to learn and stay focused.

Let's give them the joy of learning. I'm sure they'll be successful.
