Flexible Seating for 1st grade

Help me give my students comfortable bean bag chairs for them to be able to enjoy and learn to read with magnetic letters to help them recognize letters.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Purvis's classroom raised $266

My Students

Students at my school are determined to do whatever it takes to succeed. Some of my students live in poverty and need an environment to be clean and welcoming for them to learn during the day. My students work hard and I know they will achieve many rewards in life. They love to come to school and are determined to overcome the obstacles that they face each day. I think this project would motivate students to continue to thrive and motivate them to continue to make good choices as they grow into young adults.

My Project

The bean bag chairs and magnetic letters will ensure that all of my students have the same opportunity to be learn and be comfortable as they learn in their classroom. The bean bags will give students a comfortable quiet place for students to read in an area in the class that they choose or in the reading corner.

The magnetic letters will give students the opportunity to have hands on experiences with making words and then reading them.

The letters will let them recognize, and build sight words to make sentences. I will be able to use them in small groups and centers.
