Ms. Friel from Salt Lake City UT is requesting flexible seating through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Flexible Seating for Active Learners

Help me give my students flexible seating during morning meetings, small groups, individual work, and whole group instruction. My little learners need an opportunity to get out their wiggles in various areas in the classroom throughout the day.

My Project

Thank you for taking the time to help my little learners have a safe and inventive classroom community with flexible seating. Kindergarten is a big change for so many children. The more educators can create a peaceful learning environment, the easier this transition will be. That is why I am looking for ways to improve my classroom atmosphere.

Little learners need time to get out their wiggles and stretch their muscles throughout the day.

Flexible seating is a great way to keep them engaged and excited about learning. This is also a great opportunity to increase their self-efficacy in the classroom as they can choose which seating best suits their day. Flexible seating is a great use of space within the classroom and increases peer collaboration and excitement about the new activity at hand. Students can use these materials through morning meetings, buddy reading, small group learning, individual instruction, and brain breaks. I look forward to continuing to see an increase in my students' social-emotional learning through this project.
