Flexible Seating for Fun & Safe Learning!

Help me give my students the opportunity to spread out in our classroom and reduce the risk of Covid-19. My energetic kiddos love learning and moving their bodies at the same time!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Berckmans's classroom raised $887

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are a driven and enthusiastic bunch focused on growing their brains!

My students all have unique individual needs, wants and aspirations and strive to grow their brains every day!

The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted my kids in many ways and continues to do so within the classroom. My children deserve a unique learning experience that allows them to engage their bodies and brains daily!

My Project

My students engage in independent and small group learning throughout the day! These flexible seating materials will allow my students to spread out within the classroom and reduce the risk of Covid-19 spread within the school.

My scholars love centers including independent reading, word work, writing, comprehension and technology!

This flexible seating will allow them to be more engaged in these activities around the classroom and will get them out of their hard desks.

My kids love learning and love moving their bodies just as much. Putting the two together is the best of both worlds!
