My Project

This past school year, my Health class was given an official classroom and not moving from room to room. With this new advantage, I brought in my own children's beanbag chairs to the classroom. My students quickly loved the flexible seating, but given the age of the chairs they quickly broke down by the end of the school year. Help me give my students flexible seating options as I find them to create a more engaging and student-centered learning environment. Many of my students have different learning needs and struggle to stay focused in traditional chairs. Flexible seating will allow them to move, adjust, and choose the workspace that helps them do their best work. With your support, we can make our classroom a place where students feel more comfortable, empowered, and ready to learn every day. Thank you for helping to create a more inclusive learning space!
